Management of the nasal apparatus in maxillary surgery

T A Turvey. J Oral Surg. 1980 May.

Abstract

Many patients requiring maxillary surgery for the correction of dentofacial deformities have pre-existing nasal airway obstructions. In addition, some of the movements accomplished during surgery may reduce the volume of the nasal cavity or may result in nasal airway obstructions. Techniques for eliminating pre-existing nasal obstructions and of avoiding adverse effects on the nasal airway resistance after maxillary surgery are presented.
