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 کاملComparison of Radiofrequency Thermal Ablation and Microdebrider-Assisted Turbinoplasty in Inferior Turbinate Hypertrophy: A Prospective, Randomized, and Clinical Study.
Objective To compare the effectiveness of radiofrequency thermal ablation with those of microdebrider-assisted turbinoplasty, we designed a prospective, randomized clinical study. Methods Forty patients suffering from nasal obstruction due to bilateral inferior turbinate hypertrophy were enrolled. Half of the patients were operated by radiofrequency thermal ablation, while the other half unde...
متن کاملMicrodebrider-assisted versus radiofrequency-assisted inferior turbinoplasty: a prospective study with objective and subjective outcome measures.
In order to relieve the symptoms of nasal obstruction in patients with inferior turbinate hypertrophy, various surgical methods have been used. Aim of this study was to compare post-operative outcome between radiofrequency and microdebrider-assisted partial turbinoplasty. A prospective study was performed in 268 patients with nasal obstruction and hypertrophied turbinate mucosa refractory to me...
متن کاملConventional versus endoscopic inferior turbinate reduction: technique and results.
Different modalities of turbinate reduction procedures are available for treatment of vasomotor rhinitis not responding to appropriate medical therapy. Amongst these, conventional inferior turbinectomy (non-endoscopic) is the most widely performed procedure. With the advent of nasal endoscopes, inferior turbinoplasty has been gaining popularity worldwide. The purpose of this study was to compar...
