Abstract

Objective To compare the long term effectiveness of radiofrequency thermal ablation with that of surgical turbinoplasty, a prospective, randomized, blinded clinical study was conducted. Methods Eighty six patients suffering from nasal obstruction due to bilateral inferior turbinate hypertrophy were enrolled. Forty four patients were operated by radiofrequency ablation, while 42 underwent surgical turbinoplasty. The outcomes of both techniques were compared in terms of symptoms using visual analogue score (VAS) and endoscopic scores. Results A statistically significant difference in the VAS scores existed between the two groups by the 3rd month in terms of nasal obstruction (p=.0002) and headache (p=.0001), by the 6th month in terms of nasal secretions (p=.007), by the end of 1 year in terms of sneezing (p=.023) and no statistically significant difference even till the end of year with respect to hyposmia. Conclusions Radiofrequency thermal ablation is more effective than surgical turbinoplasty in terms of treating nasal obstruction and equally effective in terms of managing sneezing. Radiofrequency ablation has the advantage of being a day care procedure and minimal complications.

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.
