 Global turbinectomy of the inferior turbinate mucosa was employed for 33 patients with nasal allergy who complained of nasal obstruction after specific desensitization for a period of time (14 months on an average). The average age of 10 male patients was 25, and that of 13 females was 32 years. Desensitization was continued postoperatively for 27 patients. Comparison was made between the symptoms one month preceding the operation and those 18 months after operation according to the Okuda's criteria for effectiveness.

 The results showed that the treatment was most effective in 58% and effective in 26% of the patients with nasal occlusion. Sneezing and watery nasal discharge were improved 56% and 45% respectively. Four out of five patients with no improvement were in the teens (average age: 16 years). No differences were found in the severity of the preoperative symptoms, length of preoperative desensitization, and of postoperative observation period between the groups with or without effectiveness. It was assumed that postoperative results were influenced by chronological ages of the patients.
