Computational Fluid Dynamics Could Enable Individualized Surgical Treatment of Nasal Obstruction (A Preliminary Study)
Passage of nasal airflow during breathing is crucial in achieving accurate diagnosis and optimal therapy for patients with nasal disorders. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is the dominant method for simulating and studying airflow. The present study aimed to create a CFD nasal airflow model to de...

description | Passage of nasal airflow during breathing is crucial in achieving accurate diagnosis and optimal therapy for patients with nasal disorders. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is the dominant method for simulating and studying airflow. The present study aimed to create a CFD nasal airflow model to determine the major routes of airflow through the nasal cavity and thus help with individualization of surgical treatment of nasal disorders. The three-dimensional nasal cavity model was based on computed tomography scans of the nasal cavity of an adult patient without nasal breathing problems. The model showed the main routes of airflow in the inferior meatus and inferior part of the common meatus, but also surprisingly in the middle meatus and in the middle part of the common nasal meatus. It indicates that the lower meatus and the lower part of the common meatus should not be the only consideration in case of surgery for nasal obstruction in our patient. CFD surgical planning could enable individualized precise surgical treatment of nasal disorders. It could be beneficial mainly in challenging cases such as patients with persistent nasal obstruction after surgery, patients with empty nose syndrome, and patients with a significant discrepancy between the clinical findings and subjective complaints. |
