Rhinosinusitis is the inflammation of the mucous membranes of nose and paranasal sinus
(es). 5–13% of upper respiratory tract infections in children complicate into acute …

A population-based matched cohort study was conducted to explore how the quality of life
(QoL) changes in patients with septal deviation or recurrent/chronic rhinosinusitis after …

Background Assessing surgical competency in otolaryngology is challenging, and residency
programs are now responsible for ensuring the surgical competency of their graduates …

Introduction Techniques for inferior turbinate reduction vary from complete turbinectomy to
limited cauterization. Surgical methods differ on the degree of tissue reduction and reliance …

Background A nasal septal deviation can have a significant detrimental effect on a patient's
quality of life. Nasal valve collapse (NVC) often co-exists with a septal deviation. The Cottle …

Purpose The techniques to be performed for bullous middle turbinates are well-defined and
widely accepted in the literature. However, in the case of solid middle turbinate hypertrophy …

Background Anatomical deformities can greatly alter nasal function, which can be largely
corrected during septoplasty and septorhinoplasty operations. In this study, we aimed to …

Background There is a lack of reports on the quality of life (QOL) assessment after frontal
sinus surgery. This study aimed to assess the QOL of patients after one of three frontal sinus …

Inferior turbinate lateralization via an endonasal approach is a reliable low-risk procedure to
correct inferior turbinate hypertrophy resistant to medical treatment. This well-established …

Importance Understanding the skin biomechanics, specifically pliability and elasticity, in
patients with nasal valve collapse may allow for new methods to assess which patients …
