Coblation Turbinoplasty technique
In both groups, Coblation device covered in saline gel (REFLEX ULTRA™ 45
turbinate reduction wand, Smith & Nephew Arthrocare, London, United
Kingdom) was inserted submucosally into the inferior turbinate to the
most proximal marker on the wand. Then, we ablated the submucosal
tissues at three points (posterior, medial, anterior) using the foot
pedal. If required we, repeated the insertion to achieve further
reduction of IT. In both groups, we did not use postoperative packing.
