What Is Turbinoplasty?

This advanced ENT surgery reshapes or reduces nasal turbinates to improve airflow, addressing chronic obstruction from hypertrophy, nasal valve collapse, or sinusitis. Techniques include submucous resection, radiofrequency, laser, or ARIS Coblation turbinoplasty, using cutting-edge tools like Smith+Nephew’s COBLATION Plasma Technology. Performed endoscopically, these procedures ensure minimal invasiveness, preserving mucosal function while alleviating congestion for lasting sinus health.
