Efficacy of partial inferior turbinectomy in the treatment of inferior turbinate hypertrophy
To study causes of hypertrophied inferior turbinate, results of its surgical management by partial inferior turbinectomy and complications of this surgical procedure. Patients with symptomatic hypertrophied inferior turbinate who were willing to undergo partial inferior turbinectomy were included in the study. Patients were followed up after 2 weeks, 2 months and 6 months. Subjective improvemen...
متن کاملRadiofrequency turbinate reduction: a NOSE evaluation.
BACKGROUND The symptoms and treatments for nasal obstruction are numerous and common. Yet, a consensus on a surgical approach or, even more importantly, how to define the success of any approach is lacking in the literature. A disease-specific outcomes instrument recently developed by the American Academy of Otolaryngology, known as the Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) scale, has all...
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 کاملSuperior Turbinectomy: Role for a Two-surgeon Technique in Endoscopic Endonasal Transsphenoidal Surgery—Technical Note
We describe a practical technique of superior turbinectomy followed by posterior ethmoidectomy as a less invasive procedure for two-surgeon technique on endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal surgery. After identification of the superior turbinate and the sphenoid ostium, the inferior third portion of the superior turbinate was coagulated and resected. This partial superior turbinectomy procedure...
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...
