A comparative study of four surgical procedures: partial closure of the nostrils, complete closure of the nostrils, transplantation of maxillary sinus mucosa (a new technique reported earlier) and fat grafting, in 31 patients of atrophic rhinitis is presented. In one patient transplantation was followed by partial closure of the nostrils. Partial closure was also done in another two cases following fat grafting.
