About the Cover

As a recent finding, the airflow through the nose plays a vital role in chest movements and lung aeration. We studied the cause of obstruction in 50 patients who had surgery due to nasal obstruction in Haydarpasa Numune Training and Research Hospital Otorhinolaryngology Clinic. Age, sex, height, and weight were determined. We measured blood gases and lung function tests before the operation and one month after the surgery. Submucous resection (SMR) was performed with local anesthesia in patients with septal deviation. Patients with Nasal Polyps underwent intranasal polypectomy, sinus surgery, and Intranasal Ethmoidectomy. In our clinic, 50 (%70) septum deviation and 15 (30%) nasal polyps were formed in 50 cases who were operated due to nasal obstruction. The most common cause of surgical nasal obstruction is septum deviation. Most of our cases (72%) were male. Nasal obstruction is more common in men, and the majority of men who are exposed to nasal trauma more frequently have a septum deviation (77%). Nasal obstruction syndrome is common in the middle age group. In obese patients with overweight, lung functions were more affected. After corrective surgery, vital capacity and forced vital capacity values increased in one second. The difference is statistically significant.
