The presence of septal spur may cause various pathologies by affecting the development of the inferior turbinate, osteomeatal unit and uncinate process. We aimed to compare the changes of the angle with inferior turbinate and the maxillary medial wall of the uncinate process in patients with septal spur by normal population. In the study, 138 patients with septal spur and unilateral septum deviation and 83 patients without septum deviation were evaluated retrospectively. The angles of the inferior turbinate and the uncinate process with the medial wall of the maxilla were measured at the ostemaetal unit level. The changes of the inferior turbinate and the uncinate process with the maxilla medial wall compared to the opposite side of the deviated side and the normal population were compared. Angle of the inferior turbinate with the medial wall of the maxilla is significantly smaller in the side with septum deviation to the side without septum deviation and normal population and significantly large in the side without septum deviation to normal population. Angle of the uncinate process with the medial wall of the maxilla is significantly large in the side with septum deviation to the side without septum deviation and normal population and significantly smaller in the side without septum deviation to normal population. Presence of septum base crest are thought to cause structural changes at the inferior turbinate and the uncinate process. We recommend to break the inferior turbinate at the concave side in patients with basal crest.

Purpose: To compare the nasolacrimal and nasal anatomical parameters in cases of acquired primary nasolacrimal duct obstruction and acute dacryocystitis.
Methods: The study included 62 eyes of 31 patients. The eyes were divided into three groups: Group A, comprising eyes presenting with acute dacryocystitis; Group B, comprising eyes with nasolacrimal duct obstruction but no previous episodes of dacryocystitis; and Group C, comprising eyes with an patent nasolacrimal duct.

Background: The success rate of chronic rhinitis surgery varies depending on the patients' factor and surgical method. While outcomes for nasal obstruction differ, the association between preoperative severity of other rhinitis symptoms, such as rhinorrhea, sneezing, and nasal itching, measured via the reflective total nasal symptom score (rTNSS) remains unevaluated.
Objective: To evaluate the association between the response rate to surgical treatment of chronic rhinitis and preoperative severity.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent progenitor cells present in adult tissues that are recognized as promising candidates for cell therapy due to their ease of access, straightforward isolation, and capacity for bio-preservation with minimal loss of potency. However, the clinical application of MSCs faces significant challenges, such as donor site morbidity, underscoring the need for alternative sources. Recent studies have suggested that inferior turbinate tissues, which are commonly removed during turbinate surgery, may be a viable donor site for MSCs.

Article Synopsis
- The study compared two techniques for navigating intranasal scopes during flexible nasopharyngolaryngoscopy (F-NPLS) to assess patient comfort and practitioner satisfaction.
- There was no significant difference in successful first attempts between the two methods, but one method had lower rates of mucosal trauma and bleeding.
- Patients reported more pain during retakes compared to their initial scope procedure, highlighting the need for effective pain management.

To compare the efficacy of surgical treatment in patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) involving a standalone modified uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (mUPPP) and radiofrequency coblation inferior turbinoplasty with mUPPP. In this study, a retrospective analysis of 79 OSAHS patients with inferior turbinate hypertrophy and oropharyngeal obstruction undergoing surgical treatment was performed. According to the different surgical methods, the patients were divided into 2 groups (Group A and Group B).
