Fourteen children were seen prior to adenoidectomy and at 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months following surgery. On each visit, nasal airway resistance values, nasal cross-sectional area estimates, nasalance scores, and perceptual ratings of nasality were collected. These data were analyzed to identify changes that were related to the time of the test, and to the primary indication for surgery (nasal airway obstruction or recurrent infection). Results revealed significant reduction in nasal airway resistance and significant changes in nasalance following surgery. Perceptual changes were not significant. Clinical implications of these findings are discussed.
在腺样体切除术前以及术后1个月、3个月和6个月对14名儿童进行了检查。每次就诊时，收集鼻气道阻力值、鼻横截面积估计值、鼻音计评分以及鼻音的感知评分。对这些数据进行分析，以确定与测试时间以及手术主要指征（鼻气道阻塞或反复感染）相关的变化。结果显示，术后鼻气道阻力显著降低，鼻音计评分有显著变化。感知变化不显著。讨论了这些发现的临床意义。
