Turbinate Reduction in Dubai (Rhinology)

Overview

Turbinate Reduction is a surgical procedure frequently performed at MMC, designed to address the common issue of turbinate hypertrophy. This condition, often seen in our patients in Dubai, involves the enlargement of the turbinates, which can lead to chronic nasal congestion and breathing difficulties. The procedure aims to reduce the size of the turbinates, improving airflow and overall nasal function.

Medical Uses

Turbinate Reduction is specifically used to treat nasal obstruction caused by enlarged turbinates. Patients with conditions like allergic rhinitis or chronic sinusitis, who suffer from persistent nasal congestion and impaired breathing, often benefit from this surgery. It helps to alleviate these symptoms by resizing the turbinates to a normal volume, thereby enhancing nasal air passage.

Types & Methods

Our approach to Turbinate Reduction at MMC includes several techniques, depending on the patient's specific condition:

• Submucosal Resection: Removing a portion of the turbinate while preserving the mucosal surface.
• Radiofrequency Reduction: Using radiofrequency energy to shrink the turbinate tissue.
• Cauterization: Applying heat to reduce the size of the turbinates.

Pre- & Post-Procedure

Patients undergo a thorough pre-operative assessment at MMC, including a detailed discussion about the benefits and risks of the procedure. Post-operatively, we provide comprehensive guidelines for recovery and manage any discomfort. Follow-up care is crucial to ensure successful outcomes and improved nasal breathing.

History & Current Research

Turbinate Reduction has evolved over the years, with advancements in surgical techniques making the procedure more effective and less invasive. At MMC, we stay updated with the latest developments in this field, applying contemporary research and methods in our surgical practices to offer the best care possible.
