Evaluation with Acoustic Rhinometry of patients undergoing sinonasal surgery
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of Acoustic Rhinometry in assessing surgical outcomes in sinonasal surgery. This prospective study was carried out from January till december 2001. A group of 44 patients who presented with nasal obstruction due to various rhinologic abnormality were...
