Demographic data were obtained from the patient files at the Hospital and were complied for result. Among one hundred patients which were evaluated and surgically treated, 30 cases were of allergic rhinitis, 28 cases of vasomotor rhinitis, 22 cases were of chronic hypertrophic rhinitis and rest of 20 cases had mild septal deviation. The results were evaluated for the patients, pre-, post-operative symptoms and clinical findings.

El diámetro horizontal promedio del cornete inferior derecho se estimó en un promedio de 6.8 mm ñ 1.3 y 6.0 ñ 1.9 mm del izquierdo. La distancia entre el cornete y el séptum fue de 2.7 mm ñ 1 del lado derecho y de 2.9 mm ñ 1.5 del izquierdo. Posteriormente a la aplicación de Ag NO3 no se encontró una disminución significativa del tamaño de los corentes (1.6 mm en promedio) y un aumento de espacio del séptum al cornete (1.6 mm en promedio). Hubo mejoría sintomática de la obstrucción nasal 100 por ciento de los pacientes, de la rinorrea en 84 por ciento y de los estornudos en el 78 por ciento.
