Surgical therapy of the inferior and/or middle turbinate is indicated when conservative treatment options have failed. The desired goal is a reduction of the soft tissue volume of the turbinates regarding the individual anatomic findings, whilst simultaneously conserving as much mucosa as possible.
11 lip 2024 · Middle turbinate (MT) plays a crucial role in the mechanism of nasal respiration, by regulating nasal airflow in response to autonomic nervous system stimulation. It modulates the turgidity of the cavernous corpses through the nasal cycle.

8 lis 2018 · Our goal was to prospectively evaluate the role of middle turbinectomy on endoscopic outcomes of patients undergoing ESS for CRS with polyposis. Our hypothesis was that resection of the middle turbinate would improve sinonasal cavities appearance, as assessed by the POSE and the LKES scores.
Radiofrequency turbinate reduction is a procedure in which a needle-like instrument is inserted into the turbinate and energy is transmitted to the tissue to cause a controlled damage, so by the time healing process occurs, the turbinates will be reduced, allowing improved airflow through the nose.
Shih et al. did not find any deleterious effect of middle turbinate resection on the results of ESS while Ramadan et al. did not find a significant statistical decrease in the rate of lateral synechiae formation in patients who underwent partial resection of middle turbinate as the superior part of the turbinate that is preserved may lateralize ...
