Does Total Inferior and Middle Turbinectomy Always Lead to Empty Nose Syndrome? [PDF]
Abstract Objective Empty Nose Syndrome (ENS) is a rare and paradoxical complication often associated with aggressive turbinate reductions. Previous computational fluid dynamic (CFD) modeling has indicated that distorted nasal airflow patterns could contribute to ENS.

Osseous Hemangioma of the Inferior Turbinate: A Case Report and Review of Literature. [PDF]
Intraosseous hemangiomas account for 1% of all primary bone tumors and most frequently affect the skull base and vertebrae. Rarely are they reported in the nasal cavity. We report a case of a 51‐year‐old male who complained of bilateral nasal obstruction.

Does Total Turbinectomy Always Lead to Empty Nose Syndrome? A Computational Virtual Surgery Study. [PDF]
Our study looked at the use of a virtual surgery simulator to simulate an inferior turbinectomy, then using computational fluid dynamics to simulate airflow and to see if we can match the airflow distortions seen in ENS. We found that inferior turbinectomy alone does not cause airflow distortions like what is seen in ENS; therefore, ENS is likely a ...

Osteotomy Techniques in Endoscopic Dacryocystorhinostomy: A Three-Decade Comparative Cohort Study. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Objective Endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) is a well‐established surgical procedure used to restore lacrimal drainage in patients with nasolacrimal duct obstruction. Various instrumentation techniques have been used for lacrimal bone osteotomy; however, their comparative effectiveness remains debated.

Nasal Obstruction Is Reduced 5-7 Years After Radiofrequency Turbinate Reduction: Results From a Retrospective Observational Cohort Study. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Introduction Nasal obstruction, often caused by structural and inflammatory conditions, is prevalent and significantly impacts health‐related quality of life. Radiofrequency Turbinate Reduction (RFTR) is a widely employed treatment for inferior turbinate hypertrophy, yet evidence of its long‐term effectiveness remains limited. This study aimed
