Minimally invasive surgery for rhinitis includes two types, the first, cauterization with microwave or laser to shrink the turbinates, this procedure is performed on an outpatient basis and costs about $400. It is more effective in treating simple rhinitis and can shrink the inferior turbinates and solve the pain of nasal congestion. The second one, inferior turbinate plasma ablation, this procedure can treat hypertrophic rhinitis by partially removing the hypertrophic tissue of the inferior turbinate under low-temperature plasma, which usually has no effect on the turbinate bone. Hospitalization is required and the cost varies from region to region, usually around $1000.
