Application of continuous suture of inferior turbinate in surgery for chronic hypertrophic rhinitis with or without nasal septum deviation
European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology Feb 12, 2020
Wang H, Liang S, Wei X, et al. - Researchers conducted the study for examining the application value of continuous suture of the inferior turbinate in inferior turbinate submucosal bone resection. For this analysis, 20 patients with chronic hypertrophic rhinitis with or without nasal septum deviation had inferior turbinate submucosal bone resection with or without septoplasty. Using visual analog scales, saccharin test, nasal endoscopy, and nasal resistance test, the postoperative clinical outcome was assessed. According to results, all 20 endoscopic surgeries were conducted with success. Findings suggested that inferior turbinate continuous suture with or without nasal septum suture instead of nasal packing can significantly ameliorate postoperative discomfort, improve nasal ventilation, protect nasal function, and accelerate postoperative recovery following inferior turbinate submucosal bone resection with or without septoplasty.
