Abstract
When 113 patients who had had nasal surgery for chronic obstruction were questioned about their snoring habits before and after operation, 42% said they had snored before nasal surgery. Of that group, 77% had either elimination or improvement of snoring after nasal surgery. Nasal obstruction is one of several factors contributing to snoring; surgery that relieves nasal airway impairment may also relieve or decrease the severity of snoring.Keywords
