Can Turbinates Actually Regrow After Radiofrequency Reduction? - Turbinate Regrow / Hypertrophy Again After Turbinate Radifrequency - Turbinate Regrowing
Turbinate re-growth is more likely in patients with allergic rhinitis and atopic diseases. Regular allergy treatment may delay the regrowth of turbinate by cleaning the nose regularly with saline to remove allergen, particles and bacteria. Turbinate hypertrophy risk is a higher in patients who works at environment which have high amount dry air, particulate, industrial products, allergens. In case of re-growing, turbinate radiofrequency can be reapplied easily.

Computerized Tomography - Turbinate Radiofrequency Operation - Radiofrequency Turbinate Reduction in Istanbul
Normally, paranasal sinus tomography is not necessary before and after turbinate radiofrequency procedure. Turbinates can be assessed by nasal endoscopic examination or simple under-light nasal examination. Patients who need to different nasal surgeries with turbinate radiofrequency may need to nasal tomography. The change in turbinate volume before and after treatment can be calculated scientifically with paranasal sinus tomography as rhinomanometry.

Turbinate radiofrequency is less costly to process when done under office conditions (500-1000 Dollars on average). I am performing this procedure generally with the deviated nose surgery in hospital operation room with steril condition and under the general anesthesia. Total cost of the Septoplasty + Turbinate radiofrequency procedures (one day staying in hospital, all tests, all instruments, all doctor fees are included in this price) of septoplasty in Istanbul is about 1750 - 2500 Dollars for reasonably priced hospitals.

There are different devices are produced and different methods are defined for turbinate reducing (ultrasound turbinate reduction or coblation turbinate reduction, radiofrequency turbinate reduction, electrocautery reduction, ...etc). However optimal surgical procedure which used for treatment of turbinate hypertrophy is still controversial. Radiofrequency (RF) technology is used in medicine for treatment of many health condition. Radiofrequency devices are classified according to on the number of electrodes used as unipolar devices, bipolar devices, or multipolar devices. Radiofrequency energy induces ion agitation within the tissue, which increases the local temperature and causes a thermal damage in the deep tissue without damaging the surface mucosa. The healing process secondarily cause to fibrosis, wound contraction and resulted with tissue volume reduction of turbinates.
Radiofrequency Turbinate Reduction Technique
This procedure can be performed in an outpatient setting under local anesthesia or it can be performed with other nasal surgeries such as septoplasty, polypectomy, rhinopasty as under general anesthesia. Local anesthetics are injected into the turbinate after lidocaine spray application (use of local anesthetic without adrenaline is important for understanding the areas with the highest growth). Submucosal areas of the nasal meats are then reduced in volume with a radiofrequency device. Generally during the process, the shrinkage of the turbinate dimensions can be seen. After the process, shrinkage usually lasts up to 1 year. The total procedure time is about a few minutes under local anesthesia. Bleeding may occur in the first few days after the procedure, and turbinates may swell over the first few days, causing nasal congestion.

Turbinate Radiofrequency Indications - Indications For Turbinate Radiofrequency - Radiofrequency Turbinate Reduction Indications - Indications For Radiofrequency Turbinate Reduction
Surgical therapy of the inferior and/or middle turbinate is indicated when failing or incomplete resulting of conservative medical treatment options . Turbinate radiofrequency operation is required in the following situations:
Nasal blockage and congestion due to with inferior turbinate hypertrophy
A mildly deviated septum with nasal congestion with inferior turbinate mucosal hypertrophy with
Sleep apnea with increased nasal resistance associated with turbinate hypertrophy and difficulty using of nasal CPAP mask
Rhinitis Medicamentosa ("rebound rhinitis" or "chemical rhinitis" which caused by the use of nasal vasoconstrictive medications for more than 4-6 days) treatment
The main indication are that the problem of nasal obstruction associated with turbinate hypertrophy which negatively affects the quality of life and health of the patient and that this problem can not be solved by medical treatment and measures.

There is no definite consensus on the most effective treatment for hypertrophy of the inferior turbinates. However, nasal turbinate radiofrequency uses radiofrequency to create lesions within the submucosal tissue, reducing turbinate volume with minimal impact on surrounding tissues (irt can cause limited mucosal damage). Tubinates should be accepted as an organ and their anatomical structures should be preserved as much as possible. When there is an unnecessary loss of abnormal volume or when turbinate resection is performed, an increase in nasal air flow velocity (nasal hyperventilation) and empty nose syndrome may occur in the case of complete surgical excision. Respect for tissue is very important for preserving nasal functions.

The mechanism of the turbinate radiofrequency is very simple, almostly all devices use low-power radiofrequency energy to provide a quick and painless procedure for submucosal turbinate tissue coagulation and volumetric inferior turbinate reduction (other names of this procedures: Radiofrequency volumetric inferior turbinate reduction / Radiofrequency treatment for inferior turbinate hypertrophy / Radiofrequency tissue reduction for turbinate hypertrophy / Radiofrequency turbinate reduction (RFTR) / Inferior turbinate radiofrequency reduction / Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of the inferior turbinates)
There are different turbinate radiofrequency devices are available.

Mucosal hypertrophy of the inferior turbinate is the most common cause for nasal obstruction and second cause for nasal obstruction is septum deviation. Turbinate hypertrophy can be treated as medical or surgical methods.
Symptoms of Turbinate Hypertrophy
Turbinates are tissues located in the nasal cavity, both on the outside, which are involved in the humidification, purification and heating of the air. There is a continuous cleaning process from front to back. Nasal meats may grow gradually depending on conditions such as allergies, drug use, infections and environmental conditions.
Due to turbinate hypertrophy, air resistance entering the nose gradually increases and symptoms such as open mouth sleep, nasal congestion, dry mouth at night, night sweats, bad breath may occur. The severity of these symptoms depends on the size of the turbinates of the nose.
Treatment of Turbinate Hypertrophy
There is no definite consensus on the most effective treatment for hypertrophy of the inferior turbinates. However, nasal turbinate radiofrequency uses radiofrequency to create lesions within the submucosal tissue, reducing turbinate volume with minimal impact on surrounding tissues (it can cause limited mucosal damage).
Medical treatment for hypertrophy of the turbinate:
immunotherapy
antihistamines
intranasal corticosteroid sprays
decongestants
Surgical treatment for hypertrophy of the turbinate:
corticosteroid turbinate injections
cryosurgery
electrocautery
turbinate out-fracture
microdebrider-assisted turbinoplasty
excision of turbinate
submucous resection
In which cases is turbinates radiofrequncy done?
Turbinates radiofrequency can be performed when turbinate hypertrophy is caused by the occurrence of complaints. In case of "Rhinitis Medicamentosa" due to long-term use of nasal openers, CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) treatment can also be performed in order to increase patient tolerance. In patients with turbinate hypertrophy, if there are persistent complaints such as yor early fatigue while walking, difficulty climbing stairs, waking tired from sleep, dry throat, frequent pharyngitis infection ", minimal traumatic turbinate reduction procedures are performed for the treatment of nasal congestion.
How is turbinates radiofrequency performed?
Turbinates can be performed under radiofrequency, local or general anesthesia. Modern radiofrequency instruments (Celon, ArthroCare, Gyrus) that measure tissue resistance and cut the current without giving much energy to the tissue can be performed very easily and without complications.

Turbinates radiofrequency processing time
Turbinates radiofrequency process usually takes a few minutes. When other nasal surgeries (septoplasty, nose type plasty, endoscopic sinus surgery ... etc.) are performed, the operation time is prolonged.
Turbinate radiofrequency without packing
When turbinates radiofrequency is performed with tissue resistance measuring devices and mimimal mucosal trauma, the procedure is usually terminated without buffering. Postoperative tamponade may be more appropriate in patients with hypertension, nosebleeds and vascular disease.
Post Operative Instrıctions For Turbinates Radiofrequency
After turbinates radiofrequency, bleeding from the anterior and nasal regions may occur as dripping or leaking.
In order to decrease the blood pressure in the head area, it is appropriate to place the patient in a lying position by ensuring that the patient's head is above the body.
The room temperature of the patient and the temperature of the water applied to the face while taking a shower should not be too high. As the width of the nasal vessels will increase in the hot environment, the amount of bleeding may increase. Bleeding in the form of this leak will decrease within days. Exercise, sportive activities and professional duties that increase blood pressure after surgery are inconvenient for the first 10 days.
The most important factor that accelerates recovery after surgery is washing the nose with ocean water or other salt water. Ocean waters provide the removal of the clots, increase the nutrition of mucosal cells and the removal of microorganisms. The feeling of dryness and crusting in the nose in the first few weeks after surgery is expressed by most patients. Therefore, intranasal moisturizers such as Rinopantenina Drop, Siccnasal Ointment may also be useful.
