Although no gold-standard test exists for measuring the success of surgery in functional rhinoplasty, the patient's own subjective experience of their nasal airway obstruction and its impact on quality of life is paramount in outcomes assessment. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are questionnaires designed to evaluate both disease-specific nasal functional and esthetic domains and global health-related quality of life domains. Ideal PROMs are derived from patient input, psychometrically validated, reliable, and responsive. Assessment at both preoperative and postoperative visits allows for quantitative analysis of surgical outcomes and helps promote communication between the patient and surgeon.
