Article Abstract
Introduction: Rhinoplasty surgery involves multiple specialties and often leads to respiratory and olfactory complaints. This study examines the impact of rhinoplasty on nasal function and patient satisfaction, aiming to enhance quality of life.
Objective: To assess the effect of rhinoplasty on nasal breathing and olfactory function.
Materials And Methods: This longitudinal, single-center study included 62 patients undergoing rhinoplasty from April 2023 to April 2024. We evaluated nasal obstruction, olfactory function, and patient satisfaction using NOSE, ROE, and SAOQ scales at baseline, 6 months, and 1 year post-surgery.
Results: Rhinoplasty significantly improved nasal obstruction and satisfaction with nasal appearance. Notably, nasal obstruction decreased and patient satisfaction increased from baseline to 1 year post-surgery. Males reported greater satisfaction improvement compared to females, while smokers experienced more nasal obstruction at 1 year. Age and nasal trauma history had minimal effect on outcomes. Most patients reported relief from nasal congestion and improved olfactory function post-surgery.
Conclusion: Rhinoplasty enhances nasal function and appearance, with smoking impacting long-term results. Future research should explore diverse populations and the long-term effects of rhinoplasty.

In obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), repeated airway obstruction alters mucosal inflammation, which increases exhaled nitric oxide (NO) production in the nasal cavity. However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Accordingly, we aimed to examine the mechanism underlying NO production in patients with OSA.

BACKGROUND Pediatric sinonasal tumors are rare, accounting for about 4% of all pediatric head and neck neoplasms. Due to their nonspecific symptoms such as nasal obstruction, epistaxis, and facial pain, these tumors often present diagnostic challenges and lead to delays in managment. Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial to optimize clinical outcomes.

Background: Nasal bone fractures are among the most common facial injuries. This study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of a no-packing approach with and without Kirschner wire (K-wire) splinting in the treatment of less severe nasal bone fractures.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective study comparing cases of simple fractures classified as type II-III according to Higuera's classification that were treated surgically with closed reduction.

Nasal valve dysfunction (NVD) is a prevalent cause of nasal obstruction, significantly impacting quality of life. In recent years, the emergence of office-based interventions has transformed the therapeutic landscape for this condition, offering patients a wider choice and less invasive options compared to traditional surgical methods, yet their comparative safety and efficacy remain to be fully established.A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.

Background: Nasal congestion, a common symptom of various upper respiratory conditions, is often treated with nasal decongestants, which are effective vasoconstrictors used to relieve blockage in conditions like allergic rhinitis, rhinosinusitis, and nasal polyps. However, frequent use of these decongestants can lead to both local and systemic side effects.
Methods: This cross-sectional study used an online, self-administered questionnaire to collect data from our population as regard on the inclusion and exclusion criteria.
