Information Sources & Search Strategy
A comprehensive literature search was undertaken using PubMed, EMBASE
and MEDLINE. The search terms used were: “rhinitis AND surgical
treatment”, “rhinitis AND posterior nerve neurectomy”, “rhinitis AND
posterior nasal nerve”, “rhinitis AND neurectomy”, and “rhinitis AND
nerve AND resection”. The final search was carried out in July 2021.
The primary outcomes of this study were the effectiveness (improvement
in symptoms of rhinitis) and complications of PNN.
