HIDALGO GONZALEZ, Adolfo; MORERO CUETO, Noaris  y  DOMINGUEZ NIETO, Jenny. Endoscopic turbinoplasty of the inferior turbinate for the treatment of non-infectious chronic hypertrophic rhinitis: case series. Gac Méd Espirit [online]. 2014, vol.16, n.2, pp.105-117. ISSN 1608-8921.

Background: the surgical reduction of the inferior turbinate is the treatment of choice for patients with non-infectious chronic hypertrophic rhinitis unresponsive to drug treatment; although there are other surgical techniques for this condition, evidence supporting its effectiveness is still insufficient. Objective: to describe the clinical characteristics and postoperative outcomes in patients with non-infectious chronic hypertrophic rhinitis treated by inferior endoscopic turbinoplasty . Methodology: descriptive case series study of patients over 15 years with non-infectious chronic hypertrophic rhinitis treated by inferior endoscopic turbinoplasty in the Minimum Access National Surgery Center from May 1, 2010 to June 30, 2012. The p atients were followed for 6 months. Results: 36 patients were included , 63.9% were male ; 69.4 % had allergic rhinitis. N asal obstruction associated with rhinorrhea , pruritus and headache ( 44.4 %) and grade II hypertrophy ( 58.3 %) predominated . After surgery all patients improved and only 8.3 % had complications . Conclusions : with the use of endoscopic inferior turbinoplasty favorable results were obtained , mainly due to the relief of symptoms and the limited development of complications.
