Conservative surgical technique (Partial inferior turbinoplasty) for enlarged inferior turbinates, not responding to adequate local and systemic therapy is described. Short and long term results are evaluated. Relief of nasal obstruction is reported in 94.7% of the patients. There is a good correlation between this success-rate and the objective measurements of the nasal resistance by active anterior rhinomanometry. Rhinorrhea or postnasal drip was still present in 34.2%. Atrophic changes in the nasal mucosa were not observed. Early post-operative epistaxis was found in 5.3% of the patients. Late post-operative epistaxis did not occur.
描述了针对下鼻甲肿大且对充分的局部和全身治疗无反应的保守手术技术（部分下鼻甲成形术）。评估了短期和长期结果。报告称94.7%的患者鼻塞得到缓解。这一成功率与通过主动前鼻测压法对鼻阻力进行的客观测量之间存在良好相关性。34.2%的患者仍有鼻漏或鼻后滴漏。未观察到鼻黏膜萎缩性改变。5.3%的患者术后早期出现鼻出血。未发生术后晚期鼻出血。
