Enlarged turbinates are a common clinical sign, primarily caused by chronic inflammation in the nose and deviations in the nasal septum. Clinically, surgeries targeted at correcting enlarged turbinates are primarily conducted. Main approaches include:
One method is the fracturing and outward movement of the turbinate bone; another is the excision of the submucosal part of the enlarged turbinate. Other treatments, such as plasma ablation therapy for the turbinates, are also viable. The specific treatment method should be chosen based on a facial examination, observations of the specific condition of the enlarged turbinates, as well as assessments from sinus CT scans and conditions of the turbinate bones.
