Pathological-anatomical changes in the nasal cavity (nasal septum/perforation, mucosal hypertrophy) negatively affect nasal airflow, increase resistance - cause nasal obstruction and are often an indication for surgery. The aim of the study is to examine nasal airflow parameters after septoplasty and turbinoplasty .
Pathological-anatomical changes in the nasal cavity (nasal septum/perforation, mucosal hypertrophy) negatively affect nasal airflow, increase resistance - cause nasal obstruction and are often an indication for surgery. The aim of the study is to examine nasal airflow parameters at pre-defined intervals in patients after septoplasty and turbinoplasty .

Rhinomanometry is an examination used to assess changes in resistance and airflow in patients after septoplasty and/or turbinoplasty.
Acoustic rhinometry is an examination used to assess changes in the cross-sectional area of the nasal passage in patients after septoplasty and/or turbinoplasty.

Changes in resistance
Changes in resistance (measured in Pa-s/ml - Pascal-second/millilitre) will be assessed with rhinomanometry 6 and 12 weeks after surgery.
Time frame: 6 and 12 weeks after surgery
Changes in airflow
Changes in airflow (measured in ml/s - millilitres/second) will be assessed with rhinomanometry 6 and 12 weeks after surgery.
Time frame: 6 and 12 weeks after surgery
Changes in the cross-sectional area of the nasal passage
Changes in the cross-sectional area of the nasal passage will be assessed with acoustic rhinometry 6 and 12 weeks after surgery.
Time frame: 6 and 12 weeks after surgery
