Nasal obstruction is known to be associated with a major decrease in disease-specific quality of life, and nasal valve dysfunction can play a considerable role in nasal airflow obstruction. Diagnosis and treatment of nasal valve dysfunction requires a thorough understanding of normal anatomy and function as well as pathophysiology of common abnormalities to properly treat the exact source of dysfunction. As the pathophysiology of the nasal valves has become better understood, surgery designed to treat its dysfunction has evolved. Here, we explore the progress we have made in treating the nasal valves, and the deficiencies we still face.
众所周知，鼻阻塞与特定疾病的生活质量大幅下降有关，而鼻瓣膜功能障碍在鼻气流阻塞中可能起相当大的作用。鼻瓣膜功能障碍的诊断和治疗需要全面了解正常解剖结构和功能以及常见异常的病理生理学，以便正确治疗功能障碍的确切根源。随着对鼻瓣膜病理生理学的理解不断深入，旨在治疗其功能障碍的手术也在不断发展。在此，我们探讨在治疗鼻瓣膜方面取得的进展以及仍然面临的不足。
