Abstract

Nasal obstruction is the most common complaint among patients presenting to otolaryngologists which disturbs the quality of life of the patient. The anterior end of inferior turbinate is in the narrowest part of nasal airway, enlargement of which causes significant nasal obstruction. In our, prospective and interventional, study a comparison was made between the results of bipolar radiofrequency assisted turbinoplasty and microdebrider assisted turbinoplasty in patients with chronic nasal obstruction due to inferior turbinate hypertrophy, not responding to medical treatments. The cases were randomly divided into radiofrequency (RF) and microdebrider (MD) groups, each consisting of 30 cases. Nasal obstruction, sneezing, itching in nose, rhinorrhea, intra operative bleeding, duration of surgery, post operative bleeding, post operative pain and crusting were the parameters recorded preoperative, intra operative and post operatively at 1 week, 1, 3 and 6 months. For bleeding and crusting standard 4-point scale was used. Rest of the symptoms were assessed subjectively on standard visual analogue scale (0-10). The statistical analysis was done by student's t test. Postoperatively, all the preoperative symptoms were significantly improved up to 6 months in group RF as well as group MD, but there were three cases of recurrence at 6th months of postoperative period in group RF. However, we recommend MD assisted inferior turbinoplasty under local anaesthesia in view of long term symptom relief and lesser recurrence.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
