Abstract:

Objective   To analyze the effect of two different surgical methods for chronic hypertrophic rhinitis. Methods   124 patients were randomly divided into two groups with nasal endoscopy surgery. 64 patients underwent submucous resection of partial inferior-turbinate-bone via the front incision (Group A). 60 patients underwent submucous tissue resection of partial inferior-turbinate with a micro-suction cutter(Group B). Recovery and efficacy of the two groups after one, six and 12 months were compared between the two groups. Result   Group A had a superior one-year-efficacy to group B. Conclusion   Submucous resection of partial inferior-turbinate-bone via the front incision had better efficacy and function, which retained all the normal mucosa and normal functional sinus tissue of the inferior turbinate was worth appropriately making surgical indications widen.
