What does plasma turbinate ablation do?

Plasma turbinate ablation, a technique that uses plasma radiofrequency to remove tissue, can be used to treat chronic hypertrophic rhinitis with easy operation and little trauma. The principle of plasma ablation is to produce a thin layer of plasma between the electrode and the tissue, the ions in the layer are accelerated, and the energy is transmitted to the tissue, opening the molecular bonding between the cells and causing coagulative necrosis of the target tissue to achieve the purpose of removing the tissue. Now, it is mostly used to treat the hyperplasia and hypertrophy produced by chronic inflammatory stimulation of nasal turbinate mucosa, which is common in chronic hypertrophic rhinitis. It has the advantages of easy operation, small surgical trauma, less postoperative bleeding and less pain. Plasma turbinate ablation, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital to complete the procedure.
