Effeciny of CO2 laser in treatment of nasal obstration due to inferfer turninate hypertrohy in Kirkuk province
Keywords:
CO2 laser, nasal obstration, inferfer turninate, hypertrohyAbstract
Introduction: Nasal obstruction secondary to Inferior turbinate hypertrophy (ITH) may be a slight irritation to some people but to others it is considerable distress and affects the value of life to a great extent. The aim of study is to assessment of outcome of CO2 laser application to anterior end of inferior turbinate in treatment of nasal obstruction, and assessment of effect of CO2 laser on mucosa of inferior turbinate. Method: Cross sectional comparative study of 46 patients with nasal obstruction due to inferior turbinate hypertrophy. After select of patient according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, complete explanation of the procedure and its sequel with informed, procedure done in Kirkuk general hospital with lemmer CO2 laser with local anesthesia apply to nasal cavity, by using proper size laser probe laser apply to anterior 1/3 of inferior turbinate for 30-90 seconds, nasal pack apple for 2 -3 hours then removed, with re-packing if there is bleeding, daily follow up of patient for 1st week then 1 month and 6-month post operatively done. Results: Cross sectional comparative study of 46 patients, mean age (37 ± 14) years old, 14 (30%) of them are females and 32 (70%).
