Chronic nasal obstruction is a common symptom associated with hypertrophied inferior turbinates. Among other treatments, hypertrophied inferior turbinates can be surgically reduced in size to help relieve the obstruction and reopen the airway.

Compared to submucosal electrocautery, the Inferior Turbinate Blade offers:

  • Significantly longer-lasting results
  • Significantly improved patient quality of life
  • Significantly reduced postoperative complications
  • Helps achieve the goals of volumetric reduction
  • Helps avoid unpredictable collateral thermal damageto surrounding tissue

Surgical Technique

There are several methods for accomplishing turbinate reduction. Inferior turbinoplasty with the Medtronic ENT microdebrider blade is a minimally invasivetechnique, typically requiring just one 2 mm or 2.9 mmincision into the anterior portion of the turbinate.

The physician inserts the blade beneath the mucosal layer and, after creating a submucosal dissection plane with blade’s elevator tip, removes the intervening stromal tissue. The underlying turbinate bone is not removed and the overlying mucosa isalso preserved. This technique reduces the size of theinferior turbinate with no damage to the functional mucosal tissue, such as blanching or crusting.

An outfracture of the inferior turbinate bone is sometimes performed immediately after the turbinoplasty. This enlarges the airway by repositioning the turbinate bone laterally without removing it.
