Abstract

Inferior turbinate lateralization via an endonasal approach is a reliable low-risk procedure to correct inferior turbinate hypertrophy resistant to medical treatment. This well-established technique provides nasal comfort while conserving the mucosal membrane and physiology of the inferior turbinate, minimizing the postoperative complications (empty nose syndrome) besetting turbinoplasty involving mucosal or submucosal reduction.

Keywords: Chronic rhinitis; Inferior turbinate hypertrophy; Inferior turbinate lateralization; Nasal obstruction; Turbinoplasty.
