The impact of nasal blockage on obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is not well-determined. The results of nasal surgery appears inconsistent aswell. Altough the subjective symptoms are relieved by nasal surgery, parallel success can not be achieved in apnea-hypopnea index (AHI). On the other hand, being used as an adjunct to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment, successful results are achieved by nasal surgery.Keywords: Nasal obstruction, sleep apnea, obstructive, surgery, continuous positive airway pressureTurkiye Klinikleri J Surg Med Sci 2007, 3(23):90-92
