TWENTY-THREE CASES OF ATROPHIC RHINITIS TREATED BY DEEP PUNCTURE AT THREE POINTS IN THE NASAL REGION

Atrophic rhinitis is a disease which manifests itself mainly by anosmia due to dryness and atrophy of the nasal mucosa. There is no specific therapy for the disease at present. In the past few years, 23 cases of atrophic rhinitis were treated mainly by deep puncture at three points in the nasal region with satisfactory results. In order to find out the functional changes of the nasal mucosa, the mucociliary transport rate (MTR), surface temperature of the conchal mucosa, acid-base scale of nasal secretion, and volume of nasal secretion were determined before and after the treatment.

羟基磷灰石鼻腔黏骨膜下植入术治疗萎缩性鼻炎

1992年1月～1996年4月我们对58例萎缩性鼻炎患者行羟基磷灰石下鼻甲及下鼻道外侧壁黏骨膜下植入术，疗效明显。其手术方法及近期疗效曾于1995年作过报道，为进一步探讨其远期疗效，现将其中资料完整，随访8年以上的32例远期疗效分析报道如下。
