Role of bilateral inferior turbinoplasty as an adjunct to septoplasty in improving nasal obstruction and subjective performance in patients with deviated nasal septum associated with allergic rhinitis: An interventional, prospective study

ENT Journal May 18, 2021

Ghosh SK, et al. - In this interventional, prospective study, experts aspired to explore whether septoplasty with/without bilateral inferior turbinoplasty (BIT) alleviates nasal obstruction in the above patient cohort and whether adding BIT to septoplasty brings significant benefit. Patients with nasal obstruction due to DNS and persistent, moderate-severe AR refractory to optimal medication were divided into two groups: group A (septoplasty alone) and group B (septoplasty with BIT). Each group had 40 age/sex-matched individuals. Septoplasty with or without BIT is beneficial in the treatment of DNS and refractory AR. Adding BIT, however, has a significant benefit in decreasing nasal obstruction but does not significantly improve the Subjective Performance parameters during follow-up, with the exception of the overall satisfaction score at the third month.
