[The practice guideline 'allergic and non-allergic rhinitis' (first revision) from the Dutch College of General Practitioners; a response from the perspective of otolaryngology].
The revised guideline 'Allergic and nonallergic rhinitis' of the Dutch College of General Practitioners contains adequate and well-documented recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with allergic and non-allergic rhinitis. However, the role of surgery in the treatment of hypertrophy of inferior and medial concha, deviated nasal septum and nasal polyps is underrated.
