Surgery of the Inferior Nasal Turbinates

Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology, 1982
The inferior turbinates are responsible for nasal obstruction more often than commonly thought. When there is no other obvious cause for nasal obstruction, and when allergic disorder or other medical condition is not responsible, attention should be given to treatment of the inferior turbinates in many instances of nasal obstruction.

Unilateral agenesis of middle nasal turbinate

The Journal of Laryngology & Otology, 2009
AbstractObjective:We present the first report of agenesis of the middle nasal turbinate.Method:We present a case report and briefly discuss the world literature.Results:A 57-year-old man presenting with sinonasal symptoms was evaluated clinically and radiologically. Agenesis of the patient's left middle turbinate was detected.

Medical Malpractice Allegations in Nasal Turbinate Surgery

American Journal of Rhinology & Allergy, 2021
Background Despite studies showing most patients significantly improve their nasal congestion with surgical management of nasal turbinates, not all achieve acceptable results. Rarely, patients report substantial worsening of symptoms leading to litigation risk.

Ontogeny and Microanatomy of the Nasal Turbinals in Lemuriformes

The Anatomical Record, 2016
ABSTRACTThe nasal cavity of strepsirrhine primates (lemurs and lorises) has the most primitive arrangement of extant primates. In nocturnal species, the numerous turbinals of the ethmoid bear a large surface area of olfactory mucosa (OM). In this study, we examine turbinal development in four genera of diurnal or cathemeral lemuriformes.

RESECTION OF OBSTRUCTING INFERIOR NASAL TURBINATES

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1978
We report a series of 88 patients in whom 119 obstructing inferior nasal turbinates were resected for airway obstruction, and who have been followed for 3 months to 3 years. The airways were consistently improved and, to date, there have been no undesirable sequelae.

[Nasal turbinate surgery].

HNO, 2018
The nose forms the first 8 cm of the upper respiratory tract and is responsible for cleansing, humidification, and temperature control of the supplied air. This is also referred to as conditioning. The nasal valve region, formed by the head of the lower nasal concha, portions of the cartilaginous septum, and the upper lateral cartilage, is responsible ...

Transseptal Suturing With Turbinate Coblation in Nasal Septoturbinoplasty

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2020
Objective: Transseptal suture-assisted septoplasty and coblation are two techniques that can effectively treat septal deviation and inferior turbinate hypertrophy without the need for post-operative packing. In the existing literature, however, the early post-operative symptoms and surgical outcomes of the combination of these ...

Functional microanatomy of nasal turbinals in bats

The Anatomical Record
Abstract Nasal turbinals are scrolled or folded internal nasal bones. In bats, prior work suggests turbinal anatomy is simplified in association with laryngeal echolocation (especially nasal emitting bats) and in association with insectivory.

Function of the Turbinates: Nasal Cycle

2013
Respiratory function of the nose is to sufficiently condition the respirated air which is maintained by supplying the mucosa with thermal energy and fluid for humidification. This is supplied by the blood circulation and in coherence with the nasal cycle (Grutzenmacher et al. Am J Rhinol 1:53–57, 2005).

Surgery of the Nasal Septum and Turbinates

2015
Septal and turbinate surgery accounts for the majority of all sinonasal procedures performed in the United States. Nasal obstruction is a common presenting complaint in any otolaryngology practice. Surgical methods to address this problem have evolved over the last century with an increased focus on tissue preservation and structural conservation ...
