Partial inferior turbinate resection

Patients with chronic hypertrophic rhinitis undergo partial inferior turbinate resection. The number of inferior inferior turbinate resections is not uniform in the literature. It is advocated that less resection should be performed to avoid atrophic rhinitis. The more inferior turbinate resection, the greater the potential for nasal mucosal atrophy. It shows that under the premise of inferior turbinate resection, the symptoms should be improved, and the resection should be less and not more.
