About

The study planned to compare the internal nasal valve angle measurements of patients who underwent preservation rhinoplasty before and after surgery.

Full description

Nasal congestion is one of the most common complaints in Otorhinolaryngology medicine. One of the most common causes of this is the collapse or blockage of the Internal Nasal Valve (INV). The internal nasal valve is the narrowest part of the airway and creates the greatest resistance to airflow. Its most important function is to regulate the inspiratory airflow. It is determined by the angle formed between the caudal part of the upper lateral cartilage and the nasal septal cartilage. This angle normally varies between 9-15 degrees. The tip of the inferior turbinate and the tissues surrounding the piriform aperture may affect this area. When this angle is less than 9 degrees, the valve collapses in inspiration. The internal nasal valve region should be evaluated in every patient complaining of nasal congestion. the investigators planned to radiologically examine the improvement in the internal nasal valve angle of the patients we operated on.
