title: [The treatment of nasal adhesion after radiotherapy in the patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  In order to find a best way for treating the nasal adhesion after radiotherapy in the patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).
  
  
  METHODS
  4 cases of nasal adhesion after radiotherapy in the patients with NPC were operated by the way through palate. 32 cases were operated under endoscope, in them, 26 cases were set a tube in nasal cavity after operation, and the other 6 cases were not. And the postoperative consequences were analyzed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The curative effect of the reconstruction of nasal cavity with a tube through palate are favorable, but the processes are too complex and the trauma are too large for patients. Whereas the way which only sever the nasal adhesion under endoscope is simple, but the disease recur easily. The reconstruction of nasal cavity with a tube under endoscope not only predigest the operation, but also obtain the well effect.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The reconstruction of nasal cavity with a tube under endoscope is a good way to treat nasal adhesion.
