About

Research Question: Performing partial turbinectomy associated with rhinoseptoplasty is responsible for an increase in quality of life related to nasal obstruction when compared to no intervention in rhinoseptoplasty inferior turbinate?

• Population: patients eligible for functional rhinoseptoplasty and / or aesthetic
• Intervention: surgery, turbinectomy of inferior turbinates
• Comparison: the absence of intervention in inferior turbinates
• Primary endpoint: Quality of life related to nasal obstruction

Enrollment: 50 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 6 months to 90 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Eligible patients to rhinoseptoplasty
• Patients who agreed to participate

Exclusion criteria

• Presence of symptoms of nasal obstruction in the absence of septal deviation, poor support of the nasal tip or clamping of the nasal valve;
• Presence of hypertrophic and obstructive inferior turbinates;
• Presence of sinonasal tumors;
• Patients undergoing treatment of other concomitant rhinoplasty entities such as inflammatory sinus pathology, adenoid hypertrophy, septal perforation, otoplasty and blepharoplasty.
