Abstract
Vidian neurectomy was first described for the treatment of intractable vasomotor rhinitis in the 1960s but fell into disrepute because of the recurrence of symptoms and significant complications. With subsequent improvements in the understanding of the nasal and sinus anatomy, endoscopic vidian neurectomy can now be performed with minimal dissection and morbidity. This article describes a technique of transnasal endoscopic vidian neurectomy.
