Abstract
Introduction: Chronic rhinitis (CR) represents a prevalent, persistent inflammatory condition of the nasal mucosa, substantially impacting patients' quality of life. Despite standard pharmacotherapy, many patients with refractory symptoms do not achieve adequate relief, highlighting the need for alternative interventions such as nasal neurectomy.
Areas covered: Literature was reviewed on the PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science databases published from March 1961 to April 2025. Our review discusses the underlying mechanisms, surgical techniques, and clinical outcomes of different nasal neurectomy approaches, including vidian neurectomy, vidian-branch neurectomy, and anterior ethmoidal neurectomy, as well as recent advancements in endoscopic and minimally invasive methods.
Expert opinion: Nasal neurectomy presents a promising alternative for managing refractory CR by directly targeting the neuro-immune pathways that drive symptoms. Understanding the mechanisms, techniques, and clinical outcomes in nasal neurectomy will not only advance our insight into CR pathophysiology but also guide the development of refined, patient-specific surgical strategies for optimal outcomes.
慢性鼻炎(Chronic rhinitis, CR)是一种普遍的、持续的鼻黏膜炎症,严重影响患者的生活质量。尽管标准的药物治疗,许多患者的难治性症状没有得到充分的缓解,强调需要替代干预措施,如鼻神经切除术。涵盖的领域:从1961年3月到2025年4月在PubMed、EMBASE和Web of Science数据库上发表的文献进行了综述。本文综述了鼻部神经切除术的基本机制、手术技术和临床结果,包括鼻部神经切除术、鼻部神经分支切除术和筛前神经切除术,以及内镜和微创方法的最新进展。专家意见:鼻神经切除术通过直接靶向驱动症状的神经免疫通路,为治疗难治性CR提供了一种有希望的替代方法。了解鼻神经切除术的机制、技术和临床结果不仅将促进我们对CR病理生理学的了解,而且还将指导制定精细的、针对患者的手术策略,以获得最佳结果。
