How Posterior Nasal Neurectomy/Ablation (PNA) is performed
This treatment aims to regulate nasal secretion and reflexes, and radiofrequency, cryotherapy, or mechanical transection can be selected. Usually after anesthesia, related nerve branches are identified in the postero-lateral region of the nasal cavity through a nasal endoscope, and targeted ablation or transection is performed, and it can be completed on the same stage with inferior turbinate surgery if necessary. Postoperative monitoring of bleeding, dryness, and mucosal reactions is performed, with the goal of reducing symptoms such as runny nose and sneezing. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist evaluation and hospital plan.
