| Popis: |
Chronic hypertrophic rhinitis is sometimes refractory to local, as well as general, medical treatment. Before undertaking surgical reduction of the inferior turbinates, there is indisputably a place for cauterization or laser vaporization of the inferior turbinate mucosa. The authors present a study of 46 patients treated by the holmium:YAG laser for chronic hypertrophic rhinitis. The results after only one laser session are satisfactory in 89.1% at 6 months' follow-up and in 52.2% with mean follow-up of 16.2 months. No major secondary effects were observed. |
