The Biological Method of Surgical Cure of Ozena

Abstract

In spite of the great number of methods employed, the cure of ozena is not always satisfactory. The majority of these methods lead to a narrowing of the nasal cavity. Thus Eckert-Möbius inserts a piece of ox-bone under the mucous membrane of the nasal septum. Lautenschäger, Hinsberg, Halle narrow the nasal cavity at the expense of the osseous lateral flank of the nose.
