Objective: In this present study, we aimed to investigate the effects of visible light-infrared light phototherapy on clinical improvements together with its cytologic effects in patients with allergic rhinitis.
Background: There have been many studies in the literature describing the techniques, the associated comorbidities and the outcomes related to septoplasty and septorhinoplasty, while there have been few studies evaluating the effects of cigarette smoking on septorhinoplasty.
