Abstract
Various nasal and sinus operations are grouped under three different categories, then the efficacy of each group for the improvement of nasal obstruction has been evaluated.
All the three groups proved to be effective for alleviation of nasal obstruction however, the group with simple submucous resection together with conchotomy group has been found to be less effective when compared with the other groups with treatment of the sinus pathology.
It is suggested, in dealing with nasal obstruction, that one should be aware of the pathological conditions in the upper part of the nasal cavity as well as the lower part, mucosal pathology of the paranasal sinuses and psychological aspects on the patients.
