How Inferior Turbinate Plasty/Radiofrequency Ablation is performed
This procedure is often used for hypertrophy of the inferior turbinate, and radiofrequency, submucosal plasty, or micro-resection can be selected. Usually under local or general anesthesia, the volume of the inferior turbinate is reduced under the positioning and magnified field of vision of the nasal endoscope, while preserving the mucosa and blood supply, and hemostasis and irrigation are performed. Absorbable materials or short-term packing are placed if necessary. Postoperative monitoring of bleeding, swelling, and ventilation is performed, with the goal of relieving nasal congestion and maintaining mucosal function. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist evaluation and hospital plan.
