On 141 patients the nasal ventilation was measured by anterior rhinomanometry the day before septal surgery according to Cottle. 71 patients could be controlled in mean 54 days after surgery. 59 rhinomanometric measurements could be compared concerning nasal ventilation before and after surgery. There was statistically significance for improvement of nasal ventilation as well as symmetry. The method of anterior rhinomanometry is well suited to document and compare the nasal function in septal surgery for clinical interests.
