It is a minimal invasive procedure for Nasal obstruction caused by inferior turbinate hypertrophy. A special designed applicator is used to apply the radiofrequency to the submucosal tissue of the inferior turbinate. With a controlled increase in temperature, volume reduction is achieved through the scaring and later resorption of the submucosal tissue. The whole procedure is performed under local anaesthesia in outpatient basis. No hospital stay is required. The pain or discomfort will be minimal and easily controlled by analgesic.
Inferior turbinectomy
Nasal obstruction can be caused by the mucosa hypertrophy of the inferior turbinate. Under general anaesthesia, the inferior turbinate will be removed. A dramatic relieve of Nasal obstruction will be expected.
Septoplasty
Nasal obstruction can be caused by a deviated nasal septum. By removing the deformed bone or cartilage and repositioning of the septum, the septum can be straightened. Symmetric patent nasal air flow can then be restored. The operation is performed under general anaesthesia.
