“…Nasal airway obstruction and the commonly associated reduced quality of life metrics are often caused by incompetence of the INV . It is estimated that about 13% of the general and up to 60% of the geriatric population in the United States have some form of INV malfunction . Methods for diagnosing this condition either are subject to examiner variability, suffer from poor reproducibility, or are very time‐consuming.…”

“…1, 3,8,23 It is estimated that about 13% of the general and up to 60% of the geriatric population in the United States have some form of INV malfunction. 24 Methods for diagnosing this condition either are subject to examiner variability, suffer from poor reproducibility, or are very time-consuming. Therefore, it is not surprising that currently, no gold standard test has been defined to diagnose obstruction of the INV.…”

Objectives/Hypothesis To evaluate for the first time the feasibility and methodology of long-range Fourier domain optical coherence tomography (LR-OCT) imaging of the internal nasal valve (INV) area in healthy individuals. Study Design Prospective individual cohort study. Methods For 16 individuals, OCT was performed in each nare. The angle and the cross-sectional area of the INV were measured. OCT images were compared to corresponding digital pictures recorded with a flexible endoscope. Results INV angle measured by OCT was found to be 18.3° ± 3.1° (mean ± standard deviation). The cross-sectional area was 0.65 ± 0.23 cm2. The INV angle measured by endoscopy was 18.8° ± 6.9°. There was no statistically significant difference between endoscopy and OCT concerning the mean INV angle (P = .778), but there was a significant difference in test precision (coefficient of variance 50% vs. 15%; P < .001). Conclusions LR-OCT proved to be a fast and easily performed method. OCT could accurately quantify the INV area. The values of the angle and the cross-sectional area of the INV were reproducible and correlated well with the data seen with other methods. Changes in size could be reliably delineated. Endoscopy showed similar values but was significantly less precise.

“…The nasal valve suspension technique was introduced to improve airflow and decrease nasal resistance 4, 19. On the other hand, long‐term stability of these techniques are controversial 2. André and Vuyk found relatively limited improvement in most patients and a fairly high complication rate 20…”

“…Nasal valve dysfunction is one of the frequent causes of chronic nasal obstruction in adults, which accounts for approximately 13% of the cases undergoing nasal surgery 1. Aging, trauma, prior rhinoplasty, and septal anomalies all lead to nasal valvular dysfunction both statically and dynamically 2…”

“…Only a 4‐week follow‐up with seven patients was provided. The malleable implant, lacking memory, is subject to deformation by external pressure requiring periodic manual readjustment after surgery 9. Radiofrequency thermotherapy applied submucosally to the nasal valve has been advocated recently 10.…”

Objective/Hypothesis: A number of innovative surgical procedures have been devised to correct nasal obstruction resulting from the combined deformities of the internal and external nasal valves. Although successful, they can be complex and manipulative, requiring experience and expertise. We submit an alternative surgical procedure for the repair of isolated internal nasal valve collapse that is simple to execute in the office under local infiltration anesthesia and within the grasp of any otolaryngologist interested in its repair. The long-term success and durability of the procedure have been tested and confirmed by a 10-year survey of its effectiveness.Study Design: Retrospective review.Results: Fifty-two (89.9%) of 58 respondents who underwent surgical repair for nasal valve collapse between 1999 and 2009 reported complete satisfaction with the improvement in their nasal airway that remained effective over time. Failures (10.1%) resulted from sutures coming loose from a variety of reasons that could be remedied quite easily.Conclusions: The simplified concealed suture lateralization of the collapsed internal nasal valve is highly successful and remains effective over many years with minimal complications and without any alteration in the nasal profile.
