Turbinoplasty: Personal Technique and Long-Term Results

Abstract
An original conservative technique for surgical reduction of the inferior turbinates, called turbinoplasty, is described. We analyzed, in 308 cases, the functional objective and subjective outcome of turbinoplasty itself and in comparison with more destructive procedures called turbinotomies. The results show that both procedures (in skilled hands!) are good. Turbinoplasty is in any case a quick, safe, efficacious operation, well-accepted by the patient, and should therefore be considered one of the first choices.
