  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

The carbon dioxide laser was applied to 80 patients with nasal obstruction. The subjects were 61 cases with nasal allergy due to house dust, 6 with vasomotor rhinitis, 4 with Japanese ceder pollinosis with perenial nasal obstruction and 9 with chronic, hypertrophic rhinitis.

The entire inferior turbinates were photocoagu-lated with a defocused laser beam at 8~22 W under local anesthesia.

The laser treatment was effective in 68 out of 80 patients in treating nasal stuffiness. Thirty four out of 56 patients were relieved from sneezing and 33 out of 61 patients were free from nasal discharge.

Effective rate in nasal allergy due to house dust was 78.7%, vasomotor rhinitis was 66.6%, Japanese ceder pollinosis was 75.0% and chronic, hypertrophic rhinitis was 88.9%, respectively.

Recurrence of symptoms was found only in 16 cases 4 to 12 months after the treatment.

In conclusion, CO2 laser surgry on the inferior turbinate is an effective treatment for various nasal diseases with obstruction. This is a recom-mendable office procedure because of its simpliciy.
