Hypertrophy of inferior turbinates: radiofrequency surgery

Ernesto Bruno et al. An Otorrinolaringol Ibero Am. 2003.

Abstract

Hypertrophy of the inferior turbinates can be treated by surgical reduction that seems to the most effective approach. Currently, several surgical techniques are performed, like turbinectomy, galvanic or laser cauterization, surgical submucosal decongestion and cryosurgery. In this study, we describe a procedure to reduce the hypertrophy of the inferior turbinates in 60 patients by radio frequency with electrosurgical equipment. The aim of this study is to show how to carry out this technique in the outpatient practice, that allows to face this pathology in an effective and rapid way.
