Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Among different modalities, radiofrequency (RF) gradually increase its popularity as surgical tools, which can treat mucosal hypertrophy without any tissue removal. Inferior turbinate is a famous place for its usage, especially for decreasing of the nasal obstruction. Also, some authors have showed its effect on refractory allergic rhinitis, which is not only related to reducing of nasal obstruction, but also it is related to changing of the allergic mediators. \[5, 6\] Comparing to other treatments for turbinates is sparing its overlaid mucosa, which can reduce the possible future morbidities.
Probably considering of the above mention points, RF has a possible impact on the polypoid changes of middle turbinates and possibly does not have the same deleterious effect of the resection on cilia of mucosal layer. Therefore, we performed a randomized clinical trial to compare its outcome with two famous methods of the middle turbinate management: partial resection and medialization.
