对35例因鼻塞和病理性高鼻气道阻力而接受功能性鼻中隔成形术的患者进行了两次随访，分别在术后约9个月和9年。两次检查中，术前较窄腔的阻力均有所降低，而术后较宽腔和全鼻的阻力在后期随访时低于早期随访时。首次随访时74%的患者对手术满意，后一次随访时69%的患者对手术满意。所有患者术前均有鼻塞症状。术后9个月随访时，51%的患者主观上无梗阻，但9年时仅有26%的患者无梗阻。显然，客观和主观的变化可能发生在功能性鼻中隔成形术后9个月。
Thirty-five patients undergoing a functional septoplasty for nasal obstruction and pathological high nasal airway resistance were followed up twice, at about 9 months and 9 years postoperatively. The resistance of the preoperatively narrower cavity was reduced at both check-ups, while that of the preoperatively wider cavity, and of the total nose, was lower at the late follow-up than at the early one. Seventy-four percent of the patients were satisfied with the operation at the first follow-up, and 69% at the later one. Preoperatively, all the patients suffered from nasal obstruction. Postoperatively, at the 9-month follow-up 51% were subjectively free from obstruction, but only 26% were symptom-free at 9 years. Obviously, then, both objective and subjective changes may occur later than 9 months after functional septoplasty.
