The statement recognizes nasal valve repair as “a distinct surgical procedure that can improve nasal obstruction symptoms for appropriately selected patients.” The Academy notes that office-based techniques, including radiofrequency treatment, can stabilize the nasal valve, optimize nasal valve collapse (NVC) patient outcomes, and be performed either as a standalone procedure or in combination with other procedures to potentially avoid multiple surgeries.

Key Points: 
  • The statement recognizes nasal valve repair as “a distinct surgical procedure that can improve nasal obstruction symptoms for appropriately selected patients.” The Academy notes that office-based techniques, including radiofrequency treatment, can stabilize the nasal valve, optimize nasal valve collapse (NVC) patient outcomes, and be performed either as a standalone procedure or in combination with other procedures to potentially avoid multiple surgeries.

    New guidance from the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery notes that radiofrequency treatments can be used to stabilize the nasal valve and optimize nasal valve collapse (NVC) patient outcomes.
  • VivAer, a non-invasive technology developed by Aerin Medical, uses temperature-controlled radiofrequency energy to provide long-term relief from nasal obstruction caused by NVC.
  • “Nasal airway obstruction is one of the primary reasons a patient visits an ENT physician, and we hope that this enables ENTs to treat nasal valve collapse with minimally invasive solutions when it contributes to nasal obstruction.”
