A vidian neurectomy is a surgical procedure involving sacrificing the vidian nerve to address refractory vasomotor rhinitis. The surgeon identifies and removes a nerve segment through endoscopic techniques, disrupting the nasal cavity’s autonomic supply and reducing nasal secretions. The procedure was pioneered in 1991 and offers a more precise and less morbid alternative to traditional open approaches, yielding improved nasal symptom outcomes.Clinicians engaging in this continuing education activity on vidian neurectomy can expect to gain advanced proficiency in patient selection, precise execution of surgical techniques, and an in-depth understanding of potential complications. This knowledge enhances their competence in managing refractory vasomotor rhinitis cases, promoting optimal outcomes and enabling informed patient decision-making. Additionally, participants will stay informed on the latest advancements and evidence-based practices in the field, contributing to their ongoing professional development.
