Surgical methods for turbinate hypertrophy surgery

I believe everyone is familiar with turbinate hypertrophy. Nowadays, turbinate hypertrophy surgery can be used in medicine to treat turbinate hypertrophy. So what is turbinate hypertrophy surgery? What are they? How is it performed? With these questions in mind, let's take a look at the following introduction and surgical methods.

Turbinate hypertrophy is a common condition that can lead to nasal obstruction. The clinical symptoms of rhinitis vary and are extremely harmful. When it affects the physiological function of the nasal cavity, breathing disorders will occur, causing a decrease in blood oxygen concentration, affecting the function and metabolism of other tissues and organs, and causing symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, memory loss, chest pain, chest tightness, mental depression, etc., and even serious complications such as emphysema, cor pulmonale, and asthma.

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.

Surgical method

Cryosurgery involves placing a specially made cryotherapy head on the surface of the inferior turbinate to freeze the area for 1 to 2 minutes each time, causing the diseased mucosa to necrotize and fall off, thereby regenerating the mucosa.

For surgical treatment, Chinese patent medicine can be the first choice for nasal concha hypertrophy, and the conservative treatment with compound Tongqiaozhi and Liusan has good results. If drug treatment is ineffective, surgical treatment can be considered, such as DNR low-temperature plasma ablation. Under the action of low temperature, it can ablate the enlarged turbinate lesions without damaging the normal turbinate mucosal tissue, thereby achieving the treatment goal. The working principle of the plasma cryoablation treatment system is to form a thin plasma layer between the electrode and the tissue. The ions in the layer are accelerated by the electric field and transfer energy to the tissue. At low temperatures (40℃～70℃), the molecular bonds between cells are opened, and the cells in the target tissue are decomposed into carbohydrates and oxides, causing liquefaction and ablation of the diseased tissue, which is called plasma (not thermal effect), thereby achieving the effect of reducing the volume of scar tissue.

The above is a detailed introduction to the surgical methods for turbinate hypertrophy. I believe everyone has understood it. However, according to current medical concepts, it is best not to undergo surgery on the turbinate. 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. If you also encounter this type of disease, please go to a regular hospital for treatment and follow the expert's advice.
