To assess the efficacy of bipolar radiofrequency ablation on inferior turbinate in patients with nasal obstruction caused by inferior turbinate hypertrophy.
Eighteen patients enrolled in the study and bipolar radiofrequency ablation was delivered to inferior turbinate. The preoperative and postoperative nasal obstruction were investigated by visual analogue scale (VAS).
All patients were improved in 3 months. Mean obstruction(VAS) improved from 70.5% +/- 10.5% to 53.3% +/- 11.6% (right side), and from 67.7% +/- 9.4% to 45.0% +/- 9.2% (left side).
The use of radiofrequency for submucosal tissue ablation in the hypertrophied inferior turbinate is an effective modality for reducing symptoms of nasal obstruction.
评估双极射频消融术治疗下鼻甲肥大所致鼻塞患者的疗效。
18例患者纳入本研究,对下鼻甲进行双极射频消融。采用视觉模拟量表(VAS)对术前和术后的鼻塞情况进行调查。
所有患者在3个月时均有改善。平均阻塞程度(VAS)右侧从70.5%±10.5%改善至53.3%±11.6%,左侧从67.7%±9.4%改善至45.0%±9.2%。
使用射频对肥大的下鼻甲进行黏膜下组织消融是减轻鼻塞症状的有效方法。
