Radiofrequency 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 ...

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 کاملEffect of septoplasty on inferior turbinate hypertrophy.
OBJECTIVE To measure the effect of septoplasty on the volume of inferior turbinate in patients with a deviated nasal septum. DESIGN In this retrospective analysis, patients who underwent septoplasty without turbinate surgery from May 1, 2003, through April 30, 2006, were studied. The thicknesses and cross-sectional areas of mucosa and conchal bones were measured with computed tomography befor...
