Coblation Turbinate Reduction for Nasal Congestion, Obstruction, & Rhinitis In any case, there are 2 main ways turbinate reduction is performed depending on exam and symptom complaints: Method #1: Coblation Sub-Mucosal Turbinate Reduction (SMR) is by removing internal turbinate tissue as well as shrinking the turbinate by a method called submucosal coblation and can be done under local in an office-like setting (no IV is even needed).

Nasal concha In anatomy, a nasal concha (or turbinate) is a long, narrow and curled bone shelf (shaped like an elongated sea-shell) that protrudes into the breathing passage of the nose.Turbinate bone refers to any of the scrolled spongy bones of the nasal passages in vertebrates.ost inhaled airflow travels between the inferior turbinate and the middle meatus. The inferior turbinates are the largest turbinates, and can be as long as the index finger in humans, and are responsible for the majority of airflow direction, humidification, heating, and filtering of air inhaled through the nose.

Empty sella syndrome Empty sella in MRI (T2w sagittal) Empty sella syndrome (abbreviated ESS) is where the pituitary gland shrinks or becomes flattened, filling the sella turcica, or Turkish Saddle, with cerebrospinal fluid on imaging instead of the normal pituitary.

Turbinate - Radiofrequency Treatment of Chronic Obstruction Important Facts about Chronic Nasal Obstruction and Enlarged Turbinates. A stuffy nose is often caused by an enlargement of the inferior nasal turbinates. These are small, shelf-like structures composed of thin bone and covered by mucous membranes. They protrude into the nasal airway and help to warm, humidify and cleanse air as it is inhaled before it reaches the lungs.

What to Expect During Your Turbinate Reduction Tubinate reduction is usually indicated when enlargement obstructs other portions of the nose and airway causing disorders such as sleep apnea, congestion, post nasal drip and difficulty breathing. Turbinates are the portion of your nose that works to warm and moisten the air we breathe. The turbinates are filled with warm blood vessels which work to humidify the air, keeping cold air from reaching our lungs. Unfortunately these vessels can also become enlarged.

An aortic valve operation can be done with a midline incision of approximately four inches in length with disruption of only about half of the sternum.

Transsphenoidal Surgery FAQ Most pituitary tumors can be removed transsphenoidally. The approach is through the sphenoid sinus, one of the facial air spaces behind the nose. Rarely, a craniotomy is required, where the skull is opened to reach the tumor. There are three basic approaches to the sella, which is the bony cavity in the skull base where the pituitary gland is located. Many neurosurgeons now use a direct transnasal approach, where an incision is made in the back wall of the nose and the sphenoid sinus is entered directly.

Turbinectomy As the primary controller of nasal airflow, the nasal turbinates, particularly the inferior turbinate, play an important role in normal nasal respiratory function. The mucosa of the turbinate is an essential tissue for proper respiratory function.

Turbinate Dysfunction All individuals have turbinate dysfunction at some point in their lives. Symptoms of turbinate dysfunction range from total nasal obstruction to mild congestion and/or rhinorrhea. Causes of turbinate dysfunction include upper respiratory infection (URI), allergic rhinitis, and vasomotor rhinitis. Drugs or hormones may also induce turbinate dysfunction.

Operative Techniques in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery The ethmoid air cells lie lateral to the middle turbinate and medial to the lamina papyracea, the paper-thin wall of the medial orbit. The fovea ethmoidalis slopes inferiorly when traveling in an anterior to posterior or lateral to medial direction along the skull base (Figure 1).

- [edit on Wikidata] Adenoidectomy is the surgical removal of the adenoids for reasons which include impaired breathing through the nose, chronic infections, or recurrent earaches. The surgery is less commonly performed in adults in whom adenoids are considered vestigial and purposeless.

The superior turbinates are smaller structures, connected to the middle turbinates by nerve-endings, and serve to protect the olfactory bulb. The openings to the posterior ethmoidal sinuses exist under the superior meatus.

Medical Therapy Medical therapy is the first-line approach to the treatment of turbinate dysfunction; however, the appropriate choice of therapy relies on the appropriate diagnosis. Several categories of medications are available that have an effect on the turbinate mucosa and affect patients' symptoms. Nasal decongestants, in both topical and oral forms, are some of the most effective drugs available for reducing congestion of the turbinate mucosa.

Turbinate Reduction Your surgery may be performed in conjunction with a surgical septoplasty under local or general anesthesia. A surgeon will use an endoscope, a thin tube with a light at the end, to improve visualization and provide a magnified view during surgery. The surgeon makes an incision in the lining mucosa of the turbinate and carefully removes the underlying bone of the turbinate. Your surgeon may elect to use a microdebrider to thin the tissue around the turbinate. Alternately, they may be cauterized with radio frequency or electrical current (cautery or radiofrequency surgery). Complications associated with inferior turbinate surgery include bleeding, crusting, dryness and scarring.

Septoplasty Ideally, the septum should run down the center of the nose. When it deviates into one of the cavities, it narrows that cavity and impedes airflow. Often the inferior turbinate on the opposite side enlarges, which is termed compensatory hypertrophy. Deviations of the septum can lead to nasal obstruction. Most surgeries are completed in 60 minutes or less, while the recovery time could be up to several weeks. Septoplasty is sometimes done with rhinoplasty for cosmetic correction of the deformities of the external nasal framework.

- The turbinates can cause nasal obstruction if they are too large. There are several different types of turbinates in the nose. The ones that most commonly affect airflow are called the inferior turbinates. The picture below shows the nasal septum and the inferior turbinate on the left side of the nose.

Inverted Papilloma Treatment Options. Inverted papillomas are resected by an otolaryngologist through a minimally invasive approach called Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS). More advanced tumors can require a combined approach between neurosurgery and otolaryngology called the Expanded Endonasal Approach (EEA).

These corrective procedures may be required when medication and other conservative treatments have not improved breathing.

- Uncomplicated mechanical stenosis may occasionally be relieved with simple probing, but severe cases (often following bacterial infection of the lacrimal sac) are treated surgically: a dacryocystorhinostomy is performed to anastomose the mucosa of the nasal cavity to the lacrimal sac through an osteotomy made in the lacrimal bone. 15
