Objective Assessment of Postoperative Outcomes in Endonasal Spreader Grafts

摘要: Objectives:Use acoustic rhinometry to objectively measure the functional outcomes of endonasal spreader grafts in patients undergoing surgical correction internal nasal valve collapse.Methods:Eighteen adult open septoplasty with unilateral or bilateral graft placement were recruited. Patients asked undergo preoperative and postoperative changes cross-sectional area valve. Postoperative subjective symptoms as measured by SNOT-22 NOSE scores also compared values.Results:Patients had a statistically significant increase (P < .05). This was concomitant mild improvement postoperatively .05).Conclusions:This study provides objective evidence an after cartilage ...
