Effects of greater superficial petrosal neurectomy on nasal mucosa in rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta).
The effects of greater superficial petrosal neurectomy on normal nasal mucosa was studied in ten rhesus monkeys by light microscopy at four, six, and eight weeks postoperatively. Greater superficial petrosal neurectomy caused no histological alteration in the nasal mucosa of these monkeys. These procedures were accomplished with no complications.
