ABSTRACT

Rhinomanometry is the most reliable method to evaluate the nasal resistance objectively so it gives us a lot of information in understanding nasal pathophysiology. Total nasal resistance was studied with active anterior and posterior method in 20 healthy persons and 65 patients. Patients were examined preoperatively and postoperatively at 1 week, 3 week and 6 week.

The results were as follows;

In normal control group, the mean total nasal resistance was 0.339pa/m/sec with anterior method and 0.22pa/m/sec with posterior method.
In patient group who underwent operations, the mean total nasal resistance was decreased after surgery.
Clinically rhinomanometry can be used to evaluate the nasal obstruction and the effectiveness of the surgery.
