Abstract

Conclusion: Our results indicate that vidian neurectomy may be recommended as an effective method for the treatment of vasomotor rhinitis (VMR). Objective: The aim of this work was to study the feasibility and effectiveness of vidian neurectomy treatment under the nasal endoscope for VMR. Methods: The study included 45 patients with VMR. They were all assigned to functional endoscopic surgery with vidian neurectomy. Results: The obtained data showed that, using the rhinoconjunctivitis quality of life questionnaire, vidian neurectomy treatment relieved the symptoms of VMR in 82.2% of the patients. Vidian neurectomy also led to the reduction of expression of several cytokines, including vasoactive intestinal polypeptide, calcitonin gene-related peptide, substance P, interleukin (IL)-4, and IL-5.
