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.
