Senturk E, et al. – In this present study, the clinicians analyzed the effect of radiofrequency on DNA damage and oxidative status in patients with turbinate hypertrophy. They demonstrated that administration of radiofrequency radiation on inferior turbinates results in increased oxidative stress in the acute period and a decrease in the anti–oxidative system. Although this effect causes a slight increase in the DNA damage in the early post–operative period, the damage was restored to the pre–operative levels on day 15. Hence, a more conservative approach should be selected for radiofrequency treatment.
