Pyriform turbinoplasty (PT) is a surgical option for the management of turbinate hypertrophy. The philosophy and goal of the procedure are to improve the symptoms of a restricted airway while preserving function. We report a case of surgical management of inferior turbinate (IT) hypertrophy with PT and lateral nasal wall lateralization (LNWL). PT and LNWL improve nasal airflow, providing a wider nasal cavity by the removal of the bone of the IT. Sustained symptomatic improvement has been documented and is less susceptible to the influence of turbinate hypertrophy with other techniques.
梨状鼻甲成形术(PT)是治疗鼻甲肥大的一种手术选择。该手术的理念和目标是在保留功能的同时改善气道受限的症状。我们报告一例采用PT和鼻侧壁外移术(LNWL)治疗下鼻甲(IT)肥大的手术病例。PT和LNWL可改善鼻腔气流,通过去除IT的骨质来提供更宽敞的鼻腔。有文献记载症状持续改善,且与其他技术相比,该方法不易受鼻甲肥大的影响。
