Turbinate Reduction surgery can correct a nasal obstruction, persistent congestion, and postnasal drip for patients struggling with turbinate hypertrophy. Depending on each patient’s needs, Dr. Cangello will determine the method he will use to reduce the size of your turbinates to decrease airway r...
Before surgery and at 1 year after surgery, objective outcomes were assessed using overnight polysomnography and acoustic rhinometry. Subjective outcomes were evaluated using the Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)-18 quality-of-life questionnaire (OSA-18).Results:Following surgery, the median apnea-hypopnea...
They were assessed by clinical examination, as active anterior rhinometry, and acoustic rhinometry before and after topical decongestion, preoperatively and three months after surgery. All patients were treated by application of radiofrequency-volumetric-tissue reduction (RFVTR, or somnoplasty) to ...

collected without decongestion.Conclusion: Powered submucous turbinoplasty with microdebriders allows precisely controlled resection of submucosa and bone with mucosal preservation, making this technique, the method of choice enabling optimal volume reduction with preservation of function of the inferior ...
When these means do not provide adequate relief for the patient, surgery is suggested. Over the years, a variety of reduction techniques have been introduced with the goal of increasing nasal airway passages, preserving the function of the organ, minimizing perioperative hemorrhage, and long-term ...

We graded each patient's inferior turbinates for size from I to III before and 6 weeks after surgery for objective analysis. The common complications of standard submucous resection of inferior turbinates include excessive resection, postoperative bleeding, and crusting. The advantage of the micro...
Computed tomography scan is not recommended for the assessment of turbinate disease alone.■ The ideal turbinate reduction procedure would be one that effectively reduces the turbinate volume, preserves physiologic function, and avoids complications.■ The philosophy of inferior turbinate surgery is that ...
