Turbinoplasty ENS risk?
My ENT wants to perform a Bilateral turbinoplasty to mould down the turbinates by taking out the anterior 1/3 of the turbinate bone allowing the nasal obstruction to be relieved in the critical pinch point areas of the nose but preserving the mucosa and cold receptors to detect the airflow and avoid excessive crusting and atrophy.
How safe is this? This method seems to focus on just removing bone? What is risk of ENS with this method?
Thanks!
