How does my turbinate hypertrophy want to do radiofrequency ablation operation effect

Dec 12, 2022

Turbinate hypertrophy is treated with surgery, microwave, and radiofrequency ablation. In radiofrequency ablation, a 1.8 mm diameter "knife tip" (electrode) is inserted into the turbinate through the nasal cavity and ablation is carried out using the principle of plasma to shrink the hyperplastic turbinate tissue. Radiofrequency ablation at low temperature is a relatively new technology in recent years, the ablation process only takes 10 to 20 minutes, the operation is simple, no hospitalization, intraoperative bleeding, no pain, little damage to the nasal mucosa, no postoperative nasal packing, the patient can work after the operation. However, no matter what kind of treatment is based on the specific situation of the patient, the patient should go to the hospital with ear, nose and throat department, and let the specialist doctor decide the treatment plan. In daily life, we should pay attention to keep warm and try to reduce colds, because long-term cold can lead to chronic rhinitis, and turbinate hypertrophy is often caused by chronic rhinitis.
