Partial Turbinectomy

Partial Turbinectomy is a surgical procedure aimed at removing a portion of the nasal turbinates, which are responsible for filtering and humidifying the air as it passes through the nasal passages. When the turbinates are enlarged or inflamed, they can obstruct airflow and cause breathing problems. By removing part of the turbinates, this surgery helps to restore proper airflow and reduce nasal obstruction. It is often recommended for patients with chronic nasal congestion that does not respond to medical treatment. Recovery typically involves a short period of rest, with significant improvements in breathing post-surgery.
