AbstractThe physiological factors controlling mucociliary transport are largely unknown. Nasal mucociliary clearance was measuredusing the saccharin test in seven patients who had previously undergone vidian neurectomy for vasomotor rhinitis. Persistent denervation was suggested by impaired tear secretion. The control group consisted of thirty-four patients with vasomotor rhinitis who had not had surgery. There was no significant difference in clearance times between the two groups, suggesting that mucociliary transport is well preservedin the absence of neural control.

AbstractBilateral transnasal vidian neurectomy was performed on 276 patients between 1983 and 1991. The indications for operation were intractable vasomotor rhinitis, resistant allergic rhinitis and recurrent nasal polyposis. Two hundred and fifty-eight patients were contacted and long-term results showed that 88 per cent of the patients had an excellent result.

AbstractVasomotor rhinitis is a frustrating experience both for the consultant and for the patient. The purpose of vidian neurectomy is to destroy the secretomotor nerve supply to the nasal mucosa, the main indication being severe intractable non-atopic casomotor rhinitis.A review of 208 cases which have undergone transnasal vidian neurectomy by diathermy coagulation in the last five years is presented.The operation has proved worthwhile, the patients remaining symptom-free in 92 per cent of cases (longest follow-up 5 years). There have been on complications

The treatment of vasomotor rhinitis by anterior ethmoidal glycerol rhizotomy (AEGR) was assessed in 78 patients with a follow-up period ranging from 12 to 15 months. The reduction of nasal hypersecretion obtained with AEGR was maintained over six months. At the final assessment, sixty patients (76.9%) reported complete relief of symptoms and are taking no medications; seven (8.9%) were improved with minimal drug therapy required for symptom relief; and 11.9% had poor results with unsatisfactory control even with medication. Nineteen patients required a second treatment because of an initial suboptimal injection or recurrence. Apparently, this method offers those patients with vasomotor rhinitis a valid option for treatment of clinical symptoms, with the additional benefit of experiencing no serious complications when compared with vidian neurectomy.
