Radiofrequency turbinate vasotomy

The procedure helps improve nasal breathing and relieve symptoms associated with chronic diseases of the nasal passages.

Indications for radiofrequency turbinate vasotomy

The procedure may be recommended in the following cases:

• Chronic rhinitis that no longer responds to conservative treatment;

• Allergic rhinitis;

• Dependence on nasal medications that cause damage to the nasal mucosa;

• Deviated nasal septum;

• Enlargement of the turbinate bone tissue.

Contraindications

Radiofrequency turbinate vasotomy is generally not recommended in the following situations:

• Acute respiratory infections;

• Purulent inflammatory diseases of the respiratory tract;

• Blood clotting disorders;

• Pregnancy and breastfeeding;

• Psychiatric disorders;

• Diabetes mellitus.

How to prepare for radiofrequency turbinate vasotomy

The first step is to consult an ENT specialist. Before the procedure, the doctor may recommend the following examinations and tests:

• Consultations with relevant medical specialists (if required);

• Blood and urine tests;

• X-rays of the paranasal sinuses and chest;

• Electrocardiogram (ECG);

• Screening for HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, and syphilis.

How is radiofrequency turbinate vasotomy performed?

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia to ensure patient comfort.

Using a radiofrequency device that generates controlled radio waves, the surgeon inserts a specialized instrument into the affected area. The radiofrequency energy acts on the turbinate tissue, reducing its volume and removing excess tissue while preserving the surrounding structures. This improves the airflow through the nasal passages and restores normal nasal breathing.

The procedure is minimally traumatic, allowing for a significantly faster recovery compared with traditional surgical techniques.

Radiofrequency turbinate vasotomy effectively improves nasal breathing and reduces the symptoms of chronic rhinitis.

Postoperative care

It is important to carefully follow all postoperative instructions provided by your doctor.

Patients are advised to:

• Avoid getting water into the nose during the initial recovery period;

• Attend scheduled follow-up appointments for examination and monitoring.

Although complications are uncommon, they may include infection, bleeding, or temporary discomfort. If you experience these or any other unusual symptoms, contact your doctor immediately to prevent further complications.
