There are a variety of surgical techniques which can be used to treat structural nasal obstruction. Airwayplasty is a procedure, combining septoplasty, turbinate surgery, and nasal wall lateralization. The article reports the long-term result of this novel approach.
Patients who have evidence of structural nasal obstruction were offered the option to have airwayplasty under the senior surgeon. Patients were asked to quantify the severity and the impact of their nasal obstruction using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and the validated Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22) pre-operatively and post-operatively.
The mean total SNOT-22 score and VAS score showed a reduction of more than 50% with significant p value at 6 and 12 months post-operatively.
This novel approach to nasal obstruction can provide good long-term functional results for patients suffering from nasal obstruction.
有多种外科技术可用于治疗结构性鼻阻塞。气道成形术是一种结合鼻中隔成形术、鼻甲手术和鼻壁侧方化的手术。本文报道了这种新方法的长期效果。
有结构性鼻阻塞证据的患者可选择在资深外科医生的操作下进行气道成形术。要求患者在术前和术后使用视觉模拟量表（VAS）和经过验证的鼻-鼻窦结局测试（SNOT-22）对鼻阻塞的严重程度和影响进行量化。
术后6个月和12个月时，SNOT-22总分均值和VAS评分均值降低超过50%，p值具有显著性。
这种治疗鼻阻塞的新方法可为患有鼻阻塞的患者提供良好的长期功能效果。
