OBJECTIVE To evaluate the long-term efficacy of bilateral endoscopic vidian neurectomy in the management of moderate to severe persistent allergic rhinitis. DESIGN A prospective reassessment of the postoperative long-term results of bilateral endoscopic vidian neurectomy using the Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire and visual analog scale for patients with moderate to severe pe...

Anatomical data indicate that the rat uterine horn is innervated primarily by afferent fibers in the hypogastric nerves, suggesting that hypogastric neurectomy, but not pelvic or pudendal neurectomy, should eliminate behavioral responses to uterine horn stimulation. To test this hypothesis, detection and escape responses of rats to different volumes of uterine horn distention (via an indwelling...

OBJECTIVE The present study aimed to clarify the structural recovery, and to compare the time course of morphological changes in trabeculae and the process of bone mass change in rat tibiae following temporary immobilization of hind limb by sciatic neurectomy or nerve freezing. METHODS In 11-week-old male Fischer 344 rats, 4-5 mm of the sciatic nerve was removed (neurectomy group) or frozen b...

The difficulty in treating this complication has led numerous surgeons to complete the surgical procedure ilioinguinal o...

1. Bilateral olfactory neurectomy did not prevent experimental poliomyelitis on intravenous or intracutaneous inoculation. 2. Various operative procedures increased the susceptibility of monkeys to infection with experimental poliomyelitis.
