Abstract
Surgery on the growing pediatric nose poses many questions regarding the indications and proper timing. Historically, surgeries on the pediatric nose led to facial growth alterations so many urged caution and waiting until skeletal maturity at the age of 18. However, animal studies showed some promise that facial growth may not be affected. Investigations into effects of pediatric sinus surgery and septal surgery on facial growth showed no issues. The external nose is somewhat different in that minor variations potentially can grow to a cosmetic deformity. However, numerous studies on facial growth show, to date, that it is not affected, and that surgery is safe. The caveat that one uses is the techniques of cartilage sparing and preservation, which have been studied and shown to be safe. There are ways to measure the effectiveness of surgery in relieving nasal airway obstruction both objectively and, more recently, subjectively. It is essential to treat pediatric nasal airway obstruction to avoid other facial growth problems, such as mouth breathing, snoring, malocclusion, and obstructive sleep apnea.
