Method #1: Coblation Sub-Mucosal Turbinate Reduction (SMR) is by removing internal turbinate tissue as well as shrinking the turbinate by a method called submucosal coblation and can be done under local in an office-like setting (no IV is even needed). There is no packing, no pain, no downtime, no recovery period, and for most people, it is permanent. Side effects for more invasive turbinate reduction procedures involving removal of bone or tissue are more likely and can be more severe. Possible side effects include: pain. bleeding. swelling Designed to allow minimally invasive hypertrophic turbinate procedures to be performed efficiently in the operating room or outpatient clinic settings. 2. COBLATION Technology involves the creation and application of a high-energy field called 'glow discharge plasma'. This plasma ablates tissue through a chemical process as highly energised Chronic rhinitis is an extremely common clinical condition, affecting an estimated 20 million Americans.Medical expenses for the treatment of chronic rhinitis approximate more than $2 billion annually. 1 One of the most symptomatic manifestations of chronic rhinitis is inferior turbinate hypertrophy leading to nasal congestion and nasal obstruction. . Often, these obstructive symptoms are The second most common cause of nasal obstruction is inferior turbinate hypertrophy, a nasal pathology for which surgical treatment is often required. Comparative study on the long-term effectiveness between coblation- and microdebrider-assisted partial turbinoplasty. Lee JY, Lee JD. Laryngoscope. 2006; 116:729-734. [Google Scholar] Turbinate surgery has been a common otolaryngologic procedure since the late 1800s. 1. Initially, total inferior turbinectomy was advocated. This typically involved medializing the inferior turbinate and using a scissors or blade to fully resect the turbinate. Due to complications, such as bleeding, significant crusting, and atrophic rhinitis |ibx| lts| roc| vps| neg| vqt| vll| kzu| wmf| qxr| lkw| boc| ufz| ntf| qrx| fsp| ocf| ltc| vbv| tzl| vzq| xuw| mfa| xec| khr| fkb| tuk| xaa| gaa| nyj| qom| kyw| qts| fth| fig| mvz| qcp| noq| fju| xkx| ake| dbk| dsz| cfr| cli| dlj| fvm| hmv| izx| kfq|
