Abstract:ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical efficacy of endoscopic unilateral vidian neurectomy (EUVN) in the management of refractory allergic rhinitis (AR) with asthma.MethodsClinical data of 26 patients with refractory AR and asthma who underwent EUVN were reviewed retrospectively. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) Questionnaire, Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire(RQLQ),Asthma Control and Test (ACT) were utilized to evaluate their quality of life before and after surgery.ResultsAll the 26 patients had been followed up for more than 3 years. Postoperative scores (±s) of RQLQ and VAS at the time of 6 months (10.00±4.22, 32.58±15.31), one year (8.35±6.88, 28.62±12.06), 3 years (7.46±4.22, 28.69±5.66) were lower than the preoperative ones (24.34±8.66, 59.81±21.20), respectively. Postoperative scores (±s) of ACT at the time of 6 months (22.65±1.52), one year(22.27±2.27), 3 years (22.85±2.38) were higher than the preoperative score (20.92±2.64), respectively. All the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05).ConclusionEUVN can improve AR with asthma significantly and persistently with stable asthma control level and antiasthma drug dose.
