Radiofrequency 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 کاملEfficacy of inferior turbinate coblation for treatment of nasal obstruction.
OBJECTIVE To determine the efficacy of inferior turbinate coblation for the treatment of nasal obstruction. METHODS Twenty patients awaiting submucosal diathermy to the inferior turbinates were recruited into the study. All underwent inferior turbinate coblation. Pre-operative and post-operative nasal function was investigated using posterior rhinomanometry and subjective symptom scales. RE...
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 کاملEfficacy and safety of inferior turbinate coblation-channeling in the treatment of nasal obstructions.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of coblation-channeling in the treatment of inferior turbinate hypertrophy. The study was conducted in the Department of ENT Head and Neck Surgery, Split University Hospital Center, Split, Croatia. Fifty-two patients with inferior turbinate hypertrophy who were refractory to medical therapy were evaluated for coblation. The proc...
متن کاملNasal septum suture combined with inferior turbinate coblation after septoplasty: Does it improve quality of life and reduce complications?
Objective Nasal packing is routinely applied after septoplasty. Patients, however, report feeling very uncomfortable while the packing is in place. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of nasal septum suture combined with inferior turbinate coblation to the effects of nasal packing after septoplasty. Methods In this study, 135 patients undergoing septoplasty were divided into 3 gr...
