Rhinitis surgery refers to the treatment method if medication is ineffective in treating rhinitis. According to different types of rhinitis, rhinitis surgery can be divided into inferior turbinate submucosal resection surgery, endoscopic pterygoid nerve severance surgery, endoscopic pre-sial nerve blockage surgery, etc. 1.
1. Submucosal resection of inferior turbinate: it refers to the endonasal endoscopic resection of part of the soft tissue under the mucosa of the turbinate, which is suitable for patients with chronic hypertrophic rhinitis.
2. Endonasal endoscopic pterygoid neurectomy: it refers to resecting the attached part of the superior turbinate, exposing the nerve, grinding or cutting forceps to bite off a section, and sealing the broken pterygoid with bone wax to prevent nerve regeneration, which is suitable for patients with persistent vasomotor rhinitis.
3. Nasal endoscopic pre-sialylation nerve block: through endoscopy, part of pre-sialylation nerve and pterygoid nerve are cut off by low temperature plasma, which is suitable for patients with allergic rhinitis.
At present, most patients with rhinitis do not need surgical treatment, you can choose conservative drug treatment, you can take oral medication or nasal spray medication.
