    (Elsevier, 2019-06) Kao, Richard; Rabbani, Cyrus C.; Ting, Jonathan Y.; Shipchandler, Taha Z.; Otolaryngology -- Head and Neck Surgery, School of Medicine
    Nasal airway obstruction is a common complaint encountered by the otolaryngologist. In-office nasal procedures are becoming increasingly popular, and should be considered for patients desiring immediate treatment without the adverse effects of general anesthesia, operating room costs or scheduling delays. In this paper, we discuss the factors in patient selection, room set-up, and other considerations. We discuss the options available for in-office treatment for nasal valve repair including turbinoplasty, septoplasty, and nasal valve repair/functional rhinoplasty-type techniques described in our literature.
