Surgical Treatment for Allergic Rhinitis

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a chronic immune-mediated inflammatory nasal condition and is characterized by nasal mucosal inflammation in reaction to allergens, resulting in symptoms such as nasal congestion and pruritis, noninfectious sneezing, and watery rhinorrhea [1]. In children, AR has been associated with rhinosinusitis, Eustachian tube dysfunction, and conductive hearing loss affecting learning and development. The global spread of AR is a major public health concern. More than 500 million people reported experiencing AR symptoms, and their frequency has grown over the past few decades [2].
