Background: The nasal valve area is the narrowest point in the nasal airway. External nasal
valve (ENV) collapse during inspiration occurs if external valve area is too narrow or its …

Objectives To examine the short-term outcomes and complications of open nasal valve
surgery in children under 16 years of age. Study design: case series and chart review study …

Objective/Hypothesis: A number of innovative surgical procedures have been devised to
correct nasal obstruction resulting from the combined deformities of the internal and external …

Objective: To determine the efficacy of alar batten grafts for the correction of internal and
external nasal valve collapse. Design: In this retrospective study, a questionnaire was used …

Nasal obstruction may require treatment with rhinoplasty techniques. One cause of nasal
obstruction is known as nasal valve collapse. This refers to narrowness and weakness at the …

Objective The purpose of the study is to describe a commonly overlooked etiology of nasal
airway obstruction. Collapse of the nasal valve can be corrected with precise placement of …

Abstract Objective/Hypothesis: The aim of this study was to determine the reliability and
feasibility of modified splay graft technique in the surgical correction of internal nasal valve …

Objectives: Permanent treatment for external nasal valve collapse (ENCV) is primarily
surgical. In some situations, instead of a major operation, the placement of structural alar rim …

The nasal valve spans a minimal cross sectional area of the intake point inside the nose.
Acting as a Starling's resistor, it plays a pivotal role in controlling the inspiratory airflow …

Nasal valve collapse is a common cause of functional upper airway obstruction that leads to
varying difficulty with nasal inspiration, diminished exercise tolerance, and significant …
