Abstrakt: Despite the fact that turbinate surgery provides satisfactory results regarding nasal obstruction, most of these procedures are destructive, to some extent, for the respiratory epithelium. There are valid hypotheses suggesting either that turbinate surgery may improve mucociliary clearance (MCC) by improving rhinitis, as well hypotheses suggesting that these surgeries may impair it by damaging the nasal ciliated epithelia. This systematic review is designed with the objective of exploring the effect of turbinate surgery on MCC. Pubmed (Medline), the Cochrane Library, EMBASE, SciELO were analyzed. Four authors members of the YO-IFOS rhinology study group independently analyzed the articles. Extracted variables encompassed: sample size, age, indication for surgery, surgical technique, method used to measure mucociliary clearance, mucociliary transport time before and after surgery, and main outcome. 15 studies with a total population of 1936 participants (1618 patients excluding healthy controls) met the inclusion criteria. 9 studies could be combined in a metanalysis, wich revealed a non-statistically significant decrease of 3.86 min in MCTT after turbinate surgery (p = 0.06). The subgroup analysis of the 5 cohorts who underwent microdebrider turbinoplasty reached statistical significance under a random effect model, revealing a 7.02 min decrease in MCTT (p < 0.001). The laser turbinoplasty subgroup, composed of 4 cohorts, also reached significance, although the difference was lower than that for microdebrider turbinoplasty, 1.01 min (p < 0.001). This systematic review and meta-analysis suggests that turbinate surgery does not compromise mucociliary clearance. The available evidence also suggests that turbinate surgery with mucosa sparing techniques improves MCC, while with aggressive techniques it increases or remains the same. This beneficial effect is evident since the first to third month after surgery. However, for solid conclusions, a standard way to measure MCTT should be stablished, as well as a method to appropriately describe the extension of the surgery.
