[What has changed in esthetic and functional corrective surgery of the nose?]

The septo-rhinoplasty is a standard procedure in head and neck surgery. Only slight modifications have been developed during the last years concerning especially the surgery of the septum, the tip of the nose and the osteotomies. The presently well favored "external rhinoplasty" is not of any advantage and should be restricted to only few indications. In the present paper the different surgical approaches are described for the various nose deformities of adults and especially for those problems related to children.
