AbstractObjective:This study aimed to compare the outcomes of turbinoplasty assisted by microdebrider and by diode laser (980 nm wavelength).Methods:Forty patients suffering from bilateral nasal obstruction were randomly divided into two equal groups. One group was managed with microdebrider-assisted turbinoplasty and the other with diode laser assisted turbinoplasty. The patients were followed up for six months post-operatively.Results:After six months, total success rates were 90 per cent for the microdebrider group and 85 per cent for the diode laser group. There were no significant differences between the two groups regarding success rate, post-operative complications or operative time.Conclusion:These two techniques are equally safe, reliable, successful and non-invasive.

Turbinate Reduction

Introduction: Inferior turbinate hypertrophy refractory to medical management is one of the commonest problems encountered by ENT surgeons all over the world. Diode Laser turbinate reduction is a safe, minimally invasive, cost-effective procedure that helps in relieving the symptoms associated with it and can be performed on a day care basis under local anesthesia. The objective of this study is to measure the effectiveness of Diode laser in treatment of symptomatic ITH.Methods: Fifty patients with symptomatic inferior turbinate hypertrophy, age ranging between 15-45 years were enrolled in the study. Symptom assessment was done with the visual analogue scale. Portable Diode laser was used. Patients were followed up after 1 week and 1 month of surgery. During each postoperative visit, symptoms were reassessed using VAS and postoperative morbidity were noted.Results: Out of fifty patients, all the patients had nasal obstruction and 42 had nasal discharge and by the end of 1 month 43 (86%) and 37 (88%) patients had relief of symptoms respectively. Excessive sneezing was found in 45 patients, 39 (86.6%) patients got benefitted. Out of 18 patients, 15 (83.3%) patients had decreased snoring at 1 month post-op. Similarly, 24 patients had headache, 20 (83.3%) patients had decrease in severity. Hyposmia was seen in 19 patients, 10 (52.6%) patients had improvement in olfaction.Conclusions: Diode laser turbinate reduction for symptomatic inferior turbinate hypertrophy is one of the safest procedures that can be done under local anesthesia on OPD basis with significant relief of symptoms and with minimal complications.

Turbinate Reduction

Introduction: Turbinate reduction procedures are recommended for inferior turbinate hypertrophy in allergic rhinitis that fail to respond to medical therapy. Several modalities like turbinectomy, submucosal resection and tissue ablation are available for this purpose. The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of diode laser in the treatment of symptomatic inferior turbinate hypertrophy in allergic rhinitis and explore complications related to the procedure.Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in a tertiary care centre. The study enrolled 60 patients with inferior turbinate hypertrophy with failure of medical therapy. Inferior turbinate reduction was performed under local anaesthesia using diode laser. All the patients were evaluated subjectively for various nasal symptoms using visual analogue score scale preoperatively and during postoperative visit at three months.Results: The age ranged from 16 to 47 years with median age of 28 years. Twenty nine were male and thirty one were female. There was significant improvement in symptoms like nasal obstruction, nasal discharge, sneezing and decreased sense of smell. Immediate post-operative pain, crusting and persistent nasal discharge were observed as complications of the procedure. However, there was no incidence of mucosal oedema and synechiae formation in our study.Conclusions: Diode laser turbinate reduction procedure is safe, minimally invasive and effective in relieving the symptoms associated with inferior turbinate hypertrophy in allergic rhinitis resistant to medical therapy and can be performed on a day care basis under local anaesthesia.

Turbinate Reduction

Abstract Background: Inferior turbinate hypertrophy is the leading cause of nasal obstruction in subjects with allergic rhinitis. Patients not responding to medical line of treatment can benefit from turbinate reduction surgery, which aims at relieving symptoms. Objective: Our study aimed at comparing the improvement in nasal symptoms as well as complications following diode laser turbinoplasty and conventional inferior turbinectomy. Methods: A comparative interventional study conducted on randomly selected 93 patients of allergic rhinitis with hypertrophied inferior turbinate, attending the department of Otorhinolaryngology, in K.S.Hegde Charitable Hospital, Mangalore over a period of 3 years. Fifty patients underwent conventional inferior turbinectomy and 43 underwent diode laser inferior turbinoplasty. All patients were evaluated for improvement in symptoms at follow up on 1 week, 1 month, 3 month and 6 month. Results: The overall subjective improvement at 6 month was 71.10% in Conventional turbinectomy group and 73.84% in Laser turbinoplasty group. Both procedures are equally effective in reducing the turbinate size; however crusting, post-operative pain, blood loss and number of days of nasal pack was found to be significantly less in Laser turbinoplasty group. Conclusion: Diode laser turbinoplasty and conventional turbinectomy for inferior turbinate hypertrophy are equally good in providing long-lasting symptom reduction in patients of allergic rhinitis with hypertrophied inferior turbinate. However diode laser turbinoplasty is a safe and effective procedure resulting in a controlled coagulation and ablation of the soft tissue with less immediate post-operative pain, bleeding, crusting, duration of nasal pack and hospital stay. The better results of diode laser turbinoplasty provide an excellent patient acceptance.

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the long-term effectiveness of quantic molecular resonance (QMR) in the treatment of inferior turbinate hypertrophy (ITH) in allergic and nonallergic rhinitis refractory to medical therapy. Methods: This study enrolled 281 patients, 160 males (56.9%) and 121 females (43.1%), mean age 37.8 ± 4.1 years, range 18 to 71. Fifty-four patients have been lost to follow up and have been therefore excluded from the final analysis. Based on skin prick test results, 69 patients were considered allergic (group A) and 158 nonallergic (group B). All subjects underwent before surgery (T0) and 3 (T1), 12 (T2), 24 (T3), and 36 months (T4) after QMR treatment to: 4-phase rhinomanometric examination, nasal endoscopy evaluation, and visual analogue scale to quantify the subjective feelings about nasal obstruction. Results: Subjective and objective parameters showed statistically significant improvement in both groups. Group B parameters not changed during follow-up, while group A showed significant worsening between T1 and subsequent assessments. T4 outcome indicates a better result in nonallergic patients. Conclusions: In accordance with the literature, our preliminary data validate QMR treatment as a successful therapeutic option for nasal obstruction due to ITH. Nonallergic patients had a very good T4 outcome. Allergic patients showed a worsening trend after 1 year probably due to other causes.
