What is Turbinoplasty ?
A nasal blockage that keeps patients from breathing or falling asleep is treated with turbinoplasty, also known as turbinate reduction surgery. Turbinates are in charge of humidifying and cleaning the air that passes through the nasal passage and into the lungs. But when the airway is disrupted by allergies or infections, these tiny structures inside your nose swell and grow larger. When initial treatments such as nasal sprays (steroids or antihistamines) fail to improve the condition, turbinoplasty is recommended, either alone or in combination with other surgeries like septoplasty, etc.
Types of turbinoplasty
While there are several types of turbinoplasty, all aim to reduce or remove excess soft tissue to improve breathing and the nasal airway.
- Cauterization: This procedure involves inserting a heated probe into the nose to shrink the turbinate tissues.
- Radiofrequency Ablation: This utilizes the thin probe that sends heat energy so as to shrink the swollen masses of turbinates.
- Microdebrider submucosal resection: This procedure entails creating an incision in the turbinates to remove the turbinate tissue
