COBLATION VERSUS MICRODEBRIDER-ASSISTED TURBINOPLASTY FOR ENDOSCOPIC INFERIOR TURBINATES REDUCTION

Abstract

The primary goal of surgical intervention for patients with persistent inferior turbinates hypertrophy who are not responding to medicinal therapy is to relieve their symptoms without causing any problems. Because it effectively clears nasal space by removing blocking soft tissue and bone while maintaining the turbinate mucosa, extraturbinoplasty is one of the recommended treatments for turbinate reduction. As an extraturbinoplasty treatment, we aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of coblation assisted turbinoplasty (CAT) and microdebrider assisted turbinoplasty (MAT).
