ABSTRACT

The methods of surgical treatment of nasal spetum deformations by electrical instruments in the XIX century were used especially in United States of America. In the begining of seventieth of the XIX century D.H. Goodwillie used the machine by foot. In the half of eightieth of the XIX century and later the nasal trephine was used by C. Astier, W. Wróblewski, J. Wright, M. Schmidt, J. Wolff, F. Kretschmann and others, G. Spiess employed the special protected speculum. The special saws were also in prewailing use (G. Spiess and others). Those methods were generally not many effective.
