Abstract:

METHOD:Eighty-four patients with structural rhinitis were treated by endoscopic rhinoplasty of nasal cavity, include: (1) inferior turbinoplasty with three segment method, (2) middle turbinoplasty, (3) functional resection of ostiomeatal complex, (4) endoscopic submucous septoplasty. To achieve organic combination of the above surgery methods according to the patient's symptom and the different results of the CT scan, the surgical procedure were designed individually.
RESULT:All patients were followed-up for 8 to 12 months, average 10 months. The rate of fully recovered without serious complication was 95.24%. CONCLUSTION: Structural rhinitis is a sort of functional disease as a result of multi-abnormality of nasal cavity structure.
