The management and diagnosis of nasal airway obstruction requires an understanding of the form and function of the nose. Nasal airway obstruction can be structural, physiologic, or a combination of both. Anatomic causes of airway obstruction include septal deviation, internal nasal valve narrowing, external nasal valve collapse, and inferior turbinate hypertrophy. Thus, the management of nasal air obstruction must be selective and carefully considered. The goal of surgery is to address the deformity and not just enlarge the nasal cavity.
鼻气道阻塞的管理和诊断需要了解鼻子的形态和功能。鼻气道阻塞可以是结构性的、生理性的或两者兼而有之。气道阻塞的解剖学原因包括鼻中隔偏曲、鼻内瓣膜狭窄、鼻外瓣膜塌陷和下鼻甲肥大。因此，鼻气道阻塞的管理必须是有选择性的且经过仔细考虑。手术的目标是解决畸形问题，而不仅仅是扩大鼻腔。
