Vidian neurectomy is a useful procedure in relieving the symptoms of vasomotor rhinitis. However, the nerve is difficult to approach because of its deep location in the pterygopalatine fossa. A direct transnasal approach to the pterygopalatine fossa, passing through the sphenopalatine foramen in the lateral wall of the nose, is described and its merits are discussed. We have operated upon 247 cases by this approach over the past four years without any significant complications.
翼管神经切断术是缓解血管运动性鼻炎症状的一种有效手术。然而，由于该神经位于翼腭窝的深部，难以触及。本文描述了一种经鼻直接进入翼腭窝的方法，即通过鼻腔外侧壁的蝶腭孔进入，并讨论了其优点。在过去四年中，我们采用这种方法对247例患者进行了手术，未出现任何严重并发症。
