Other Functional Nasal Surgeries
Nasal health has a direct impact on our overall quality of life. Every breath that begins through the respiratory tract is closely linked to the functionality of our nasal structure. Nasal surgeries intervene to improve this fundamental function and to resolve breathing problems. So, what are the available nasal surgeries, and how do they make a difference?
Inferior Turbinate Submucosal Resection
The abnormal enlargement of the inferior turbinates, also known as the nasal conchae, is the primary factor triggering breathing problems in many people. When the size of the inferior turbinate (nasal conchae) is dependent on the thickness of the bone skeleton, reducing the tissue with radiofrequency does not solve the problem. In such cases, it is necessary to preserve the mucosa covering the turbinate while removing the excess thickness from the skeleton part. Thus, even though the nasal conchae, which create volume inside the nose and lead to nasal congestion, are reduced in size, they will continue to perform their necessary functions.
Nasal Valve Surgery
The nasal valve is the first point of contact for airflow when we breathe in. If the constrictions occurring here are only treated by correcting a deviation (nasal curvature), the problem persists. Nasal valve surgery aims to resolve this specific constriction issue, improving the breathing function. Permanent surgical techniques applied to this area, where nasal strips offer a temporary solution, can permanently ease the breathing of patients.
Balloon Sinuplasty: A Minimally Invasive Solution for Chronic Sinusitis
In addition to the revolutionary FESS surgery for the treatment of chronic sinusitis, the balloon sinuplasty method also offers unique advantages. It can be used alone in patients with chronic sinusitis due to constriction in the sinus passages without polyp formation, as well as being extremely useful as an instrument in patients requiring complete sinus surgery.
The surgeries we perform are extremely effective in resolving breathing problems and improving the quality of life of our patients.
