摘要：
Nasal obstruction is a common symptom. Rhinomanometry is a tool to objectively assess the nasal airway. A prospective study was undertaken to assess the nasal airflow and nasal resistance in 25 patients of deviated nasal septum undergoing septoplasty using rhinomanometry preoperatively and postoperatively. Rhinomanometric improvement in nasal airflow and decreased nasal resistance were found in 88% patients after surgery.
