A subject with a septal perforation was studied rhinometrically to confirm that the congested choana did not limit airflow when the anterior nose was decongested. It did not. This suggests that in an undefined proportion of patients with swollen diseased mucosa, surgery to the anterior nose may be sufficient to relieve nasal obstruction.
对一名患有鼻中隔穿孔的受试者进行了鼻测量，以确认在前鼻孔减充血时，充血的后鼻孔不会限制气流。结果确实如此。这表明，在一定比例的患有肿胀病变黏膜的患者中，对前鼻孔进行手术可能足以缓解鼻塞。
