It is my privilege to present for consideration and judgment three new plastic operations on the nose and throat. The first is for the relief of the various obstructions of the anterior nares. The second is for the correction of septal deformities in children without sacrificing the septum. The third attemi)ts to cure atresia of the soft palate to the nasopharyn- geal wall by a surgical procedure. The work on the first and second of these covers a period of five years; on the third, of less than one year. AN OPERATION FOR THE RELIEF OF THE VARIOUS OB- STRUCTIONS OF THE ANTERIOR NARES. The ]iroblem of relieving obstruction in the an- terior nares is constantly presenting itself to the rhinologist. Collajise of the alae nasi has been and is the bcte nnir of this class of cases. Eor the sake of brevity I shall not allude to the literature on this subject as it is .scanty and unsatisfactory, but shall go directly to its clinical consideration.
