Submucosal turbinate resection

Submucosal nasal resection is a surgical procedure for the treatment of chronic sinusitis by resection of the turbinate. Treatment of diseases: paranasal sinusitis and sinusitis Indication The turbinate hypertrophy is hypertrophied and is ineffective when other treatments are ineffective. According to the degree of mucosal hypertrophy, the following nasal hypertrophy can be used for submucosal partial resection when the bone hyperplasia is dominant. Contraindications 1, with systemic diseases, can not tolerate surgery. 2, local infection, not suitable for surgery. Preoperative preparation Trim the nose hair and clean the nose. The nasal mucosa of the lesion was sprayed with 1% ephedrine, and the surgical procedure was determined according to the degree of mucosal contraction. Surgical procedure A small incision was made at the front end of the left inferior turbinate to reach the inferior turbinate bone. The nasal scissors were inserted, the lower edge of the inferior turbinate was cut open to form the inner and outer side flaps, and the inferior turbinate bone was separated, and the hyperplastic bone was removed by bone scissors. And press the degree of turbinate hypertrophy, the lateral flap is cut off as a strip wedge. After hemostasis, the inner and outer flaps of the lower turbinate are closed and sutured.
