Efficacy of Radiofrequency Turbinatoplasty for Treatment of Inferior Turbinate Hypertrophy
Introduction: Nasal inferior turbinate hypertrophy is one of the most common causes of nasal obstruction. Many different surgical methods are currently available. The aim of this study was to review the efficacy and results of radiofrequency turbinatoplasty as a new method in the treatment of the large inferior nasal turbinate. Materials and Methods: This prospective study was conducted on 5...
متن کاملRadiofrequency Ablation (Coblation) Treatment of Inferior Turbinate Hypertrophy
Background: Nasal obstruction caused by soft tissue hypertrophy of the inferior turbinates is one of the most common presentations in otorhinolaryngology. Most of the times medical treatment fails to relieve the obstruction. Aim: To assess the efficacy of radiofrequency volumetric tissue reduction (RFVTR) “COBLATION” of inferior turbinate in relieving nasal obstruction. Study Design: Prospectiv...
متن کاملRadiofrequency inferior turbinate reduction improves smell ability of patients with chronic rhinitis and inferior turbinate hypertrophy
Radiofrequency inferior turbinate reduction (RFITR) of inferior turbinate hypertrophy (ITH) is an effective way to treat patients with intractable nasal mucosal obstruction. The objective of this study was to assess smell ability, nasal symptoms, inferior turbinate grading (ITG), peak nasal inspiratory flow (PNIF) of patients with chronic rhinitis (CR), and ITH before and after RFITR. Patients ...

متن کاملNasal mucociliary clearance in adenotonsillar hypertrophy.
The nasal mucociliary clearance time was studied using Andersen saccharin method in 50 normal children and 50 age and sex matched patients of adenotonsillar hypertrophy, which was repeated one month after adenotonsillectomy. The normal mucociliary clearance time in healthy children was found to be 8.55 +/- 2.11 minutes. A significant impairment in nasal mucociliary clearance time was noted in c...
