Holmgren Operation

Holmgren surgery is a surgical procedure that is used to treat a variety of ear, nose and throat conditions. It was developed by Swedish otolaryngologist Gerhard Holmgren in the 19th century.

Holmgren's operation involves removing part of the nasal septum, which is the cause of many diseases of the nose and throat. The operation is performed through a small incision in the skin, which is then closed with stitches.

Holmgren surgery is often used to treat diseases such as chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps, deviated nasal septum and others. It can also be used to remove tumors and cysts in the nose and throat.

After Holmgren's surgery, the patient usually recovers quickly and without complications.
