In addition to drug treatment, turbinate hypertrophy also has partial inferior turbinectomy, cryotherapy, microwave, laser and partial resection of nasal polyps. However, the above methods have great damage to the inferior turbinate mucosa, such as postoperative pain, bleeding, scabbing, dryness, nasal odor, infection, nasal adhesion, etc., which affect the nasal function to varying degrees. According to the medical concept, it is best not to operate on the turbinate, which is the thermostat of the nasal cavity. If it is damaged too much, it will lose the feeling of cold and warm air. The best way is to perform turbinectomy without damaging the nasal mucosa.

Here are some ways to treat turbinate hypertrophy for your reference:

(1) The application of vasoconstrictor nasal drops is limited to mild cases.

(2) Injecting sclerosing agent into submucosa of inferior turbinate, its mechanism is that after injecting sclerosing agent, local chemical inflammatory reaction can occur, scar tissue can be generated, the volume of turbinate can be reduced, and ventilation can be improved.

(3) The submucosal electrocoagulation of inferior turbinate leads to scar contraction.

(4) Cryopreservation: Place a special freezer on the surface of the inferior turbinate, and freeze for 1 ~ 2 minutes each time, so that the diseased mucosa will be necrotic and fall off and regenerate.

(5) For surgical treatment, turbinate hypertrophy can choose Chinese patent medicine as the first choice, and can adopt conservative treatment with compound Tongqiao Zhisanliu, with good effect. If drug treatment fails, surgical treatment and DNR low temperature plasma ablation can be considered. Under the action of low temperature, the lesion of turbinate hypertrophy can be ablated without damaging the normal turbinate mucosa, thus achieving the therapeutic purpose. The principle of plasma cryoablation treatment system is to form a thin plasma layer between the electrode and the tissue, and the ions in the layer are accelerated by the electric field and the energy is transferred to the tissue. At low temperature (40℃ ~ 70℃), the molecular binding bonds between cells are opened, so that the cells in the target tissue are decomposed into carbohydrates and oxides, and the diseased tissue is liquefied and melted. This phenomenon is called plasma (non-thermal effect), thus achieving the effect of shrinking the scar tissue volume.

(6) Appropriate treatment should also be given to chronic systemic diseases or adjacent diseases such as deviated nasal septum or sinusitis.

Turbinate hypertrophy's operation

Turbinate hypertrophy's treatment includes surgery, microwave, radio frequency and low temperature plasma ablation. Low temperature plasma ablation technology is an advanced technology developed in recent years. The treatment process of this technique only takes 10 ~ 20 minutes, and the operation is simple without hospitalization. But no matter what kind of treatment depends on the patient's specific situation, in daily life, we should pay attention to keep warm and try to reduce colds, because long-term colds can lead to chronic rhinitis, and turbinate hypertrophy is often caused by chronic rhinitis.
