Although turbinate reduction with the laser is one option in the treatment of nose blockage, Dr. Scott is also experienced in other more common procedures that may be required. Septoplasty (straightening the cartilage inside the nose), polypectomy (removal of nose polyps) and endoscopic sinus surgery (drainage of the sinuses to remove infection and reduce blockage) may be required. If you are one of those patients that have tried a variety of drug treatments, including antibiotics, antihistamine tablets, and nose sprays but still have nose blockage due to swelling of the lining of the nose, you might benefit from radiofrequency/laser procedure. Radiofrequency/laser turbinate reduction is a fast,
effective way to relieve chronic nasal obstruction due to enlarged turbinate
without pain and inconvenience associated with traditional techniques.
The procedure itself typically takes less than a few minutes per turbinate
and in most cases does not require nasal packing or postoperative analgesic. |
