Reduced nasal airway resistance following uvulopalatoplasty.

R Welinder1, L O Cardell, R Uddman, L Malm.   

Abstract

Active anterior rhinomanometry was performed on adult healthy snorers before and after uvulopalatopharyngoplasty or laser uvulopalatoplasty. Significant reduction of the nasal airway resistance both before and after pharmacological decongestion of the nasal mucosa was found in a group of 46 patients. Oedema disappearing after surgery may be an explanation for the results.
