Brief discussion on ablation surgery for turbinate hypertrophy

Today's medical technology is developing rapidly, helping more patients cure diseases, relieve pain, and help them live a healthy life. The current environment is getting worse and worse. The air quality is poor in many big cities. Due to the development of heavy industry, various pollutants in the air have increased. This causes many people to suffer from turbinate hypertrophy. However, with the improvement of medical standards, this disease can be cured more easily, that is, turbinate hypertrophy ablation surgery.

Turbinate hypertrophy refers to the long-term inflammatory stimulation of the nasal concha, which causes edema of the nasal concha mucosa and leads to nasal obstruction. For some cases of enlarged inferior turbinate, the treatment effects of nasal mucosal vasoconstrictors and Chinese and Western medicines are poor. In addition to drug treatment, other methods to improve nasal ventilation include partial resection of the inferior turbinate, cryosurgery, microwave, laser and partial resection with a nasal polyp cutter; however, the above methods cause greater damage to the inferior turbinate mucosa, resulting in postoperative pain, bleeding, scabbing, dryness, nasal odor, infection, and nasal adhesions, which affect the function of the nasal cavity to varying degrees. According to current medical knowledge, it is best not to undergo surgery on the nasal concha, as it is the thermostat of the nasal cavity. If it is damaged too much, the sense of cold and warm air will be lost. The best method is to perform turbinate reduction surgery while ensuring that the nasal mucosa is not damaged.

Turbinate hypertrophy refers to the long-term inflammatory stimulation of the nasal concha, which causes edema of the nasal concha mucosa and leads to nasal obstruction. Treatments for turbinate hypertrophy include surgery, microwave, radiofrequency technology and low-temperature plasma ablation technology. Low-temperature plasma ablation technology is a relatively advanced technology in recent years. The treatment process of this technology only takes 10 to 20 minutes, and the operation is simple and does not require hospitalization. But no matter what kind of treatment is used, it must be based on the patient's specific situation. In daily life, you should pay attention to keeping warm and try to reduce colds, because long-term colds can lead to chronic rhinitis, and nasal concha hypertrophy is often caused by chronic rhinitis.

Previous treatments for inferior turbinate hypertrophy, such as freezing, laser, microwave, and partial inferior turbinate resection, have destroyed the normal nasal mucosal structure and affected the physiological function of the nasal cavity. With the gradual understanding and attention to the physiological function of the nasal cavity, inferior turbinate surgery should continue to move towards the goal of "protecting the function of the inferior turbinate while reducing it to the optimal volume."

After the ablation surgery for nasal concha hypertrophy, it is best to cooperate with Chinese medicine treatment. Chinese medicine can cure the root cause and prevent recurrence. It is recommended to go to the Chinese medicine throat department to take Chinese medicine for oral administration that can dispel wind and heat, purge fire and promote qi circulation, and clear the nasal passages. Combined with Chinese medicine powders that can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, reduce inflammation and relieve pain, discharge pus and clear the passages, and remove rot and promote new blood, the effect is relatively ideal.

After ablation surgery for nasal concha hypertrophy, you need to take anti-inflammatory injections to stabilize the inflammation, make the wound heal faster, and prevent postoperative infection. If you do not take injections and only take anti-inflammatory drugs, you can also prevent infection.

Turbinate hypertrophy ablation surgery can help patients restore the health of their nasal conchas, and the disease can be better treated. The above is my understanding and introduction of the ablation surgery for turbinate hypertrophy. It is hoped that this surgery can help more patients with this disease get rid of pain and suffering and have healthy nasal conchae. No need to endure the pain caused by enlarged nasal concha. I hope the above introduction can be helpful to patients.
