The aim of the study is to compare endoscopic submucosal inferior turbinectomy to blunt turbinectomy in terms of subjective and objective parameters.
The two methods of nasal inferior turbinectomy are well popularized and in use for long periods of time. Endoscopic submucosal inferior turbinectomy is performed in our hospital and blunt turbinectomy is performed usually in privat clinics outside the hospital where there is no endoscopic equipment. We will examine both subjective (QOL questionaire) and objective parameters(rhinomanometry- a non invasive method to evaluate nasal airflow, saccharine test, nasal endoscopy) in our comparison of the outcome of these two methods.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| A1 | Active Comparator | since the two methods of turbinectomy are in used on a regular basis there is no way to perform double blind study- both the surgeon and the patients are well aware of the operation they are about to go. we just compare several parameters in patients who are anyway about to undergo an operation in a specific method that is used by their surgeon |
|
| A2 | Active Comparator | the resection of the inferior turbinates will be performed endonasally with an endoscopical instruments |
|
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| bilateral nasal inferior turbinectomy | Procedure | the operation is performed endonasally under general or local anesthesia, the inferior turbinates are resected and removed |
