A number of publications appeared in the sixties claiming success of Vidian neurectomy in patients with chronic vasomotor rhinitis and recurrent polyposis nasi.
During the period from October 1970 through February 1975, a total of 27 Vidian neurectomies was performed in 14 patients (seven males and seven females). Two groups of seven patients each were operated on; seven patients with chronic vasomotor rhinitis and seven patients with recurrent polyposis nasi and rhinitis. Symptoms were quantitatively recorded pre- and postoperatively
and patients were followed up 15-66 months.
The Rotterdam results appear in the long run inferior to those published in the literature.
