Tenotomy according to Landolt

Tenotomy used by Landolt

Tenotomy is a surgical procedure aimed at straightening the posterior part of the nasal septum after a purulent process. This operation is used for purulent sinusitis that has not been treated or was treated surgically using the wrong method. Despite the effectiveness of treatment with conservative methods, surgical intervention gives a positive result within two weeks. In more advanced cases, a systematic effect in the form of a half-open palatine passage is observed. Tenotomy in adults is usually prescribed for bilateral and unilateral parasinus sinusitis. Also, such an operation can be prescribed for purulent sinusitis, during which polyps have formed, and for dysfunction of the auditory tube
