Nasal blockage is one of the most common symptoms encountered in the field of rhinology. Inferior turbinate hypertrophy is one of the most common causes of nasal obstruction that may be observed in allergic rhinitis, vasomotor rhinitis, chronic hypertrophic rhinitis, or a compensatory response to an evident septal deviation. Although such condition is not life threatening, but it has a negative influence on the quality of life of the patients concerned. The inferior turbinate has an important role in the physiology of the nose and the defense of the lungs through temperature regulation and humidification of the inspired air as well as filtration of the foreign particles by the mucociliary clearance system. Surgical reduction of the inferior turbinate is required for inferior turbinate hypertrophy that is refractory to the medical treatment. Inferior turbinate surgery is intended to maximize the nasal airflow through reduction of the erectile submucosal tissue and / or the bony turbinate, while concurrently preserving the turbinate mucosa in order to preserve the humidification and warming of the inspired air. Although multiple surgeries have been described for the management of inferior turbinate hypertrophy, but there is lack of consensus on the ideal methods. Therefore, there is a need for a comprehensive review of the surgical techniques to better define each procedure and improve understanding of the principle and mechanism involved.
