“…Elwany and Harrison (1990) showed a high success rate (75 per cent) after PIT compared to a 45 per cent success rate after CS. In contrast to Elwany and Harrison (1990) and our study, others have found a high success rate in CS, Bumsted (1984) 92 per cent, Chiossone et al (1990) 83 per cent, Principato (1979) 80 per cent, and Moore and Bicknell (1980) 78 per cent success rate in CS.…”

A variety of surgical procedures are performed for treatment of hypertrophic inferior turbinates, but there is no completely effective therapy. We evaluated subjectively and objectively 52 patients who underwent one of two procedures: partial inferior turbinectomy (PIT) or cryosurgery of the inferior turbinates (CS). The results of PIT showed good functional results in 77 per cent of cases for long-term effectiveness. The results of CS showed that effectiveness was reduced from a 62 per cent success rate after one year to 35 per cent later, but CS was a simple procedure which was performed on an outpatient basis with no postoperative morbidity.

“…Other studies confirmed our finding and supported our approach that CS can be performed as an outpatient procedure: (Moore and Bicknell, 1980;Bumsted, 1984;Elwany and Harrison, 1990). In PIT, the main complication reported by others was bleeding in nine per cent (Dawes, 1987), or five per cent of the cases (Elwany and Harrison, 1990).…”

Radiofrequency inferior turbinate reduction (RFITR) of inferior turbinate hypertrophy (ITH) is an effective way to treat patients with intractable nasal mucosal obstruction. The objective of this study was to assess smell ability, nasal symptoms, inferior turbinate grading (ITG), peak nasal inspiratory flow (PNIF) of patients with chronic rhinitis (CR), and ITH before and after RFITR. Patients with CR and ITH, aged 18–60 years, who underwent RFITR, were prospectively recruited. Smell ability (measured by smell detection threshold [SDT]), visual analog scale (VAS) of nasal symptoms, ITG, and PNIF before and 6–10 weeks after RFITR were compared. Forty-eight subjects were included. All nasal symptoms were significantly decreased after RFITR. After surgery, SDT (tested by phenyl ethyl alcohol) was worsened in 7 patients (14.6%), improved in 8 patients (16.7%), and did not change in 33 patients (68.7%). SDT after RFITR of six patients in the worsened SDT group were still within normal range (> −6.5). There was only one patient whose SDT changed from normosmia to mild hyposmia (−7.25 to −5.38). In the improved SDT group, two of eight patients had obviously better SDT after RFITR, which changed from moderate hyposmia to normosmia (−3.65 to −10; −3.73 to −10), whereas six of eight patients had little better SDT after RFITR. RFITR also significantly reduced ITG and improved PNIF. In conclusion, the treatment of patients with CR and ITH with RFITR significantly improved PNIF, ITG, and nasal symptoms assessed by VAS, although SDT after RFITR could be the same or improved or worsened.

A comparison of cryosurgery and submucous diathermy in vasomotor rhinitis

Abstract: Cryosurgery in obstructive non-allergic vasomotor rhinitis is a simple outpatient procedure with as good results as the more time-consuming and elaborate procedure of submucosal diathermy.
