Inferior turbinate plasty:
This is a traditional method to treat chronic hypertrophic rhinitis, mainly through surgical removal of part or all of the inferior turbinate, so as to achieve the purpose of narrowing the nasal cavity and improving ventilation.
Suitable for patients with simple rhinitis and allergic rhinitis.
Plasma radiofrequency ablation;
This is a minimally invasive surgery, using plasma cryoablation technology to treat chronic rhinitis. With the help of nasal endoscope, plasma cryoablation system is used to treat diseased tissues, so as to control the inflammatory reaction in nasal cavity.
It has little damage to surrounding normal tissues and quick recovery after operation.
Endoscopic sinus surgery;
The operation removes the pathological tissue and mucosa around the opening of the sinus through the nasal endoscope, opens the sinus and improves the symptoms such as nasal congestion caused by rhinitis.
It is suitable for patients with rhinitis complicated with nasal polyps and sinusitis.
Ethmoidectomy:
It is mainly used to treat chronic suppurative sinusitis, which can effectively remove the focus, promote the smooth drainage of nasal cavity, and is conducive to the recovery of the disease.
General anesthesia is usually required.
Nasal cavity dilatation:
Autologous cartilage or artificial materials are implanted to enlarge the nasal cavity volume, which is suitable for nasal congestion caused by simple rhinitis, allergic rhinitis and other diseases.
Neurotomy of pterygoid canal:
Cut off the parasympathetic nerve of the nose, make the blood vessels of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses contract, reduce nasal secretions and improve runny nose.
Clinically, it is mostly used for patients with rhinitis caused by allergic reasons.
Closure of anterior nostril:
Including partial and complete closure of the anterior nostril, rhinitis can be relieved by narrowing the nasal cavity, reducing nasal ventilation, reducing evaporation of water from nasal mucosa and reducing mucosal dryness and scab.
Middle turbinectomy:
Include partial middle turbinectomy and total middle turbinectomy. It is suitable for patients with middle turbinate hypertrophy or polypoid degeneration. However, the middle turbinate is an important anatomical symbol of functional endoscopic sinus treatment, so it is generally advocated to keep the middle turbinate as much as possible or to perform partial resection of the middle turbinate.
Submucosal partial resection of inferior turbinate;
Partial turbinectomy under nasal endoscope is suitable for local hypertrophic rhinitis.
Atrophic rhinitis surgery:
It is suitable for patients with long course of disease, obvious symptoms, severe atrophy of inferior turbinate, wide nasal cavity and ineffective after various conservative treatments. Commonly used surgical methods include submucosal embedding of nasal cavity, internal fixation of lateral wall of nasal cavity and sealing of anterior nostril.
In addition, there are other surgical methods, such as ethmoidal neurotomy, which are mostly assisted by nasal endoscope, making the operation simpler and safer and shortening the operation time.
Please note that the above surgical methods are for reference only, and the specific choice of surgery needs to be decided according to the patient's specific situation, physical condition and doctor's advice. Before rhinitis surgery, patients should be comprehensively examined and evaluated to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the operation.
