  • Title: Nasal airway resistance and complications following functional septoplasty: a ten-year follow-up study.
    Author: Bohlin L, Dahlqvist A.
    Journal: Rhinology; 1994 Dec; 32(4):195-7. PubMed ID: 7701227.
    Abstract:
    Functional septoplasty was performed upon 63 patients to relief nasal obstruction due to septal deviation. The effect of the operation on pre-operative nasal airway resistance was assessed by anterior rhinomanometry at three months (63 patients) and 10 years (35 patients), post-operatively. The operation reduced nasal airway resistance in both the short-term (three months) and long-term (10 years) groups. At the late follow-up, inadequate results were found in six out of 37 patients examined. Two patients had septal perforations.
