Surgical Management of Nasal Valve Collapse

Sheena Samra et al. Otolaryngol Clin North Am. 2018 Oct.

Abstract

Nasal valve collapse has multiple causes, including congenital, traumatic, and, unfortunately, iatrogenic. Recognition of the causes of nasal valve collapse and the methodology for treatment is paramount not only for the otolaryngologist but also for any physician managing the nasal airway. This article focuses on the cause and surgical management of internal and external nasal valve collapse.

Keywords: Internal and external nasal valve; Nasal obstruction; Nasal valve collapse; Nasal valve repair.
