Abstract

The external nasal valve is a complex entity comprised of multiple structures and tissue types. As such, there is no single operation that can address all problems of the external valve. This article reviews the relevant anatomy, pathologic conditions, and treatments for external nasal valve dysfunction, including a detailed review of the nasal muscles and their contribution to external nasal valve patency. Surgical and nonsurgical options for treatment and the evidence supporting the importance of proper external nasal valve function on quality-of-life measures are discussed.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Alar rim grafts are effective in reinforcing the nostril margin.

    “Alar rim grafts are effective in reinforcing the nostril margin [6].”

    From Functional Rhinoplasty. (2023) · cites this paper as [6]

  • Even minor adjustments in the radius of the nasal valves in either direction can have a significant impact on both airflow and resistance.

    “Consequently, even minor adjustments in the radius of the nasal valves in either direction can have a significant impact on both airflow and resistance [6,12].”

  • The internal nasal valve is the most constricted segment within the nasal airway, resulting in the highest overall impedance to airflow.

    “This segment represents the most constricted section within the nasal airway, resulting in the highest overall impedance to airflow [4-6].”

    From Functional Rhinoplasty. (2023) · cites this paper as [6]

  • Alar strut grafts are a reliable way to flatten and straighten the lateral crus and provide support to the external nasal valve.

    “This technique is a reliable way to flatten and straighten the lateral crus and provide support to the external nasal valve [6,12].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
