The dangers of turbinate ablation may include headache, dryness of the nasal mucosa, and nasal adhesions.
1. Headache: excessive ablation of nasal turbinate mucosa will lead to hyperventilation, and the irritation produced by airflow may cause reflex headache.
2. Dryness of nasal mucosa: Nasal hyperventilation will also cause dryness of nasal mucosa and increase in nasal crusts.
3. Nasal adhesion: after the damage of nasal turbinate mucosa, the turbinate may stick to the nasal septum, which may affect the nasal ventilation function.
Turbinate hypertrophy ablation is a minimally invasive surgery, the technology is still relatively mature, the probability of the above harm is still relatively low. The indications are strictly selected before surgery, and regular review is needed after surgery to observe the postoperative recovery.
