Effect of allergic rhinitis on nasal obstruction outcomes after functional open Septorhinoplasty

Conclusion Patients with and without allergic rhinitis experience similar OSR outcomes as measured by the NOSE score. Open septorhinoplasty addresses multiple components contributing to nasal airway obstruction, and may offset the effects of allergic rhinitis. When indicated, it should be offered to patients with allergic rhinitis and after complete medical management.
