Background Because nasal function and shape are so closely intertwined, quantitative assessments can better define their relationship and how they are affected by septorhinoplasty. Objective The aim of this prospective study was to perform an analysis of the nasal airflow resistances and a three-dimensional (3D) evaluation of the soft-tissue changes after closed septorhinoplasty. Methods Before surgery (TO) and 6 months after closed septorhinoplasty (Tl), 30 patients underwent symptoms…

Significance of Medial Osteotomy on the Olfactory Function in Patients Who Underwent Septorhinoplasty
TLDR
Medial osteotomy may decrease the olfactory function in early time, but afterwards olfaction could recover at preoperative levels, and the present study is the first analysis of the effect of medial osteotomy on o aroma function.
Nasal Cytology in Radiofrequency Turbinate Volume Reduction
TLDR
Radiofrequency turbinate volume reduction (RFTVR) is an effective treatment of inferior turbinate hypertrophy of various etiology and is not responsible for a worsening of inflammatory infiltrate of the nasal mucosa.

TLDR
The September 2017 edition of the American Journal of Rhinology and Allergy showcases wonderful examples of how research efforts from all angles and at all levels can make an impact, and three retrospective articles this month remind us that there is plenty of valuable knowledge to be gained from retrospective review.

Evaluation of nasal airway alterations associated with septorhinoplasty by both objective and subjective methods
TLDR
While a significant difference was obtained between the patient and control groups in terms of preoperative values, nosignificant difference was found between postoperative values of these groups.
Temporal Differences in Improvement of Nasal Obstruction between Primary and Revision Septoplasty
TLDR
Compared with primary sePToplasty, the long-term efficacy of revision septoplasty may not be clear, and there are discrepancies between the subjective and objective outcomes.
Role of Nasal Valve in the Surgically Corrected Nasal Respiratory Obstruction: Evaluation through Rhinomanometry
TLDR
Evaluating the improvement of nasal flow and the fall of nasal resistance in 50 patients that underwent rhinoseptoplasty to improve nasal obstruction caused by severe septal deviation, external or internal valvular incompetence, or any combination of the three found that patients with both valVular incompetence and septAL deviation represented the group in which the greatest preoperative obstruction and the greatest postoperative improvement occurred.
Nasal valve surgery
TLDR
Rhinomanometry, performed in a decongested condition and after dilation test, was a useful diagnostic tool for the preoperative diagnosis of nasal valve obstruction and permitted to assess quantitatively the favourable effect of surgical procedures.
Internal nasal valve collapse.
TLDR
The spring graft technique, a modification of the splay graft, handles both the functional and aesthetic problems in the dorsal midvault and is easy to learn and execute and must be kept in mind in selected patients.
Evidence-based practice: functional rhinoplasty.
TLDR
Functional rhinoplasty encompasses the surgical techniques used to address obstruction occurring in this area, which aim to increase the size of the nasal valve opening and/or strengthen the lateral nasal wall and nasal ala, preventing dynamic collapse.
Objective measures in aesthetic and functional nasal surgery: perspectives on nasal form and function.
TLDR
An overview of objective measures in both aesthetic and functional nasal surgery is presented and future trends and applications that have the potential to change the way the authors assess nasal form and function are discussed.
The diagnosis and treatment of nasal valve collapse
TLDR
The aim of the new advances in the treatment of nasal valve collapse is to maximize the benefit from the surgical intervention while minimizing disruption of the normal anatomy and physiology of the nose.

TLDR
This paper focuses on the treatment of dynamic disorders of the nasal valve area that mainly constitute the more important therapeutic issue and distinguishes between stabilisation techniques through grafts or implants and stabilising suture techniques.
The site and function of the nasal valve
TLDR
This resistive segment of the airway was investigated using a “head‐out” body plethysmograph in subjects with anatomically normal noses and, as might be expected, caval resistance changed proportionately with the degree of mucosal congestion; but, more surprisingly, vestibular resistance changed similarly.
