Changes in Nasal Anatomy and Airflow After Endoscopic Resection of Pituitary Adenomas Using Computational Fluid Dynamics: A Pilot Study
Surgery impacts nasal anatomy and airflow dynamics significantly, particularly in the anterior part of the nasal cavity. These findings emphasize the need for surgical precision to minimize unintended shifts in airflow patterns. Further studies are recommended to validate these observations.
