Nasal obstruction secondary to inflammatory or chronic nasosinusal disease.
According to the condition of the hypertrophied inferior turbinate. If it is hypertrophied due to its bulky bony structure, then turbinoplasty by depriding is doing well. If its hypertrophy is due to redundant mucosa, then partial inferior turbinectomy is doing well but with possible risk of postoperative bleeding or atrophic rhinitis.
Hi juan I will attached a short communication that I found it good in assuring your question
Factors such as individual patient's condition, surgeon's experience and costs often impact one's decision when it comes to selecting a particular surgical technique. But generally speaking, the preferred surgical procedures for the relief of nasal obstruction when it is caused by hypertrophy of inferior turbinate is submucosal microdebrider-assisted turbinate reduction. Although it is expensive, this method is quite efficient, reliable, easy to learn, safe and most importantly provides the little mucosal damage.
Of course to achieve the best result, outfracture of inferior turbinate is almost always added to any technique.
