The external nasal valve is a complex entity comprised of multiple structures and tissue types. As such, there is no single operation that can address all problems of the external valve. This article reviews the relevant anatomy, pathologic conditions, and treatments for external nasal valve dysfunction, including a detailed review of the nasal muscles and their contribution to external nasal valve patency. Surgical and nonsurgical options for treatment and the evidence supporting the importance of proper external nasal valve function on quality-of-life measures are discussed.
鼻外阀是一个由多种结构和组织类型组成的复杂实体。因此，没有一种单一的手术能够解决鼻外阀的所有问题。本文综述了鼻外阀功能障碍的相关解剖学、病理状况及治疗方法，包括对鼻肌及其对鼻外阀通畅性的作用的详细综述。文中还讨论了治疗的手术和非手术选择，以及支持鼻外阀正常功能对生活质量指标重要性的证据。
