Structural nasal obstruction (SNO) is a series of diseases caused by congenital or acquired
structural anatomical abnormalities of nasal airway and its surrounding tissues, which leads …

Background To create a nomogram prediction model for the efficacy of endoscopic nasal
septoplasty, and the likelihood of patient benefiting from the operation. Methods A …

Purpose The goal of this study was to develop a complete workflow allowing for conducting
computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation of airflow through the upper airways based …

Background In individuals with nasal septal deviation (NSD), compensatory hypertrophy of
the nasal turbinates occurs as a protective mechanism of the nasal passage from dry and …

Background The association of the linear dimensions of the inferior turbinate hypertrophy
with nasal septal deviation has been studied recently. However, the volumetric dimensions …

Objectives: The relative importance of the nasal valve relative to the remainder of the nasal
airway remains unknown. The goal of this article was to objectively measure the shape of …

Objective A pneumatised middle turbinate is called concha bullosa. It has been classified
according to its extension in the coronal plane. We propose the first classification according …

Objective Existing literature on the prevalence of middle turbinate pneumatization, or concha
bullosa (CB), in the pediatric population is limited. CB is an anatomic variant important to …

Introduction Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) has had many complications, eg, synechia
formation. This meta-analysis investigated the effect of a novel chitosan-based dressing on …

A meta‐analysis was performed to evaluate the effect of chitosan‐based gel dressing on
wound infection, synechia, and granulations after endoscopic sinus surgery of nasal polyps …
