“…Several authors 54 55 have addressed the consequences of nasal surgery for obstructive anatomical diseases (septal deviation, turbinate hypertrophy, nasal polyps), measuring subjective and objective parameters, such as sleepiness through the Epworth Sleepiness Scale, 56 sleep quality through the Visual Analog Scale on Quality of Sleep (VAS-QS), nasal resistance by rhinomanometry, and the AHI through PSG, each of them collected before the surgical procedure and after two to six months of follow-up, depending on the study. All of the authors homogeneously reported a significant improvement in the subjective measures after nasal surgery, but no statistically significant differences in the AHI.…”

Objective To perform a systematic review to determine if isolated nasal surgery has any impact on subjective or objective parameters in adult obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients. Materials and Methods From December 2022 to March 2023, we conducted a search on the PubMed, Cochrane, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. Two independent investigators performed a study selection according to the established criteria, as well as data collection, including the study design, the subjective and objective parameters addressed, the type of intervention, and the outcomes, considering the methodological quality and risk of bias. Results In total, 25 studies met the selection criteria, and they showed that there is a significant improvement in sleep quality, sleepiness, nasal resistance, and snoring after isolated nasal surgery. Still, there is no relevant modification of other polysomnographic parameters. It also reduces the required titration pressures of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and increases the duration of its use. Conclusion Isolated nasal surgery is not a primary treatment for OSA. Still, it improves the subjective parameters and can lead to CPAP therapy success by enhancing its effectiveness and long-term compliance.
