Surgical correction of the congested nose is frequently attempted. In the absence of a septal deformity, engorgement of the inferior turbinate is usually held to be the culprit, and various procedures have been advocated to counter this problem. Submucosal diathermy to the inferior turbinates is widely practised, but relatively little has been published about it. 204 patients who underwent submucosal diathermy of the inferior turbinates between 1977 and 1983 have been studied. 60 patients have been followed up by questionnaire, for periods ranging from 1 to 5 years since surgery. Surgery was of benefit in up to 72% of cases. Surgical technique and the problems of patient selection and assessment are discussed.
人们经常尝试通过手术矫正鼻塞。在没有鼻中隔畸形的情况下，下鼻甲充血通常被认为是罪魁祸首，并且已经提出了各种手术方法来解决这个问题。下鼻甲黏膜下透热疗法应用广泛，但关于它的报道相对较少。对1977年至1983年间接受下鼻甲黏膜下透热疗法的204例患者进行了研究。通过问卷调查对60例患者进行了随访，随访时间为术后1至5年。手术对高达72%的病例有益。文中讨论了手术技术以及患者选择和评估的问题。
