Sub-mucoperiosteous partial resection in combination with fractured-bone removal for chronic hypertrophioc rhinitis.

Objective To evaluate the effect of sub-mucoperiosteous partial resection(SPR) in combination with fractured-bone removal in treatment of chronic hypertrophioc rhinitis(CHR) by nasal endoscopy.Methods Seventy-two patients with CHR received SPR plus fractured-bone removal.The position of the nosepiece,condition of rhinocleisis and wound were recorded after surgery.Results 62 patients were followed up post-operatively for 6 months,and 52 patients were healed and 10 patients had improvements.The effective rate of 48 patients followed up postoperatively for 1 year was 94%.There was no intra-operative complication.All the patients showed no severe synechia,persistent crusting,drying flu at nasal mucosa,or inferior turbinate mucosa atrophy.Conclusion Trans-nasal endoscopic SPR in combination with fractured-bone removal is good for CHR with hyperplasia of the inferior turbinate bone,and it avoids inferior turbinate mucosa damage,as well as restoring the function of cilia.
