    To study the influence of different managements of middle turbinate on nasal airway resistance(NAR) and nasal airflow sensation. Patients were divided into three groups: total resection group (32 patients/sides), partial resection group (37 patients/sides) and total reservation group (34 patients/sides). The NAR and nasal airflow sensation were measured with anterior rhinomanometer and visual analogue scale test (VAS) respectively. The NAR and VAS scores decreased significantly after operation (P < 0.01). But there was no significant difference between these three groups(P > 0.05). The different managements of middle turbinate have no significant influence on NAR and nasal airflow sensation.
