OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the efficacy of surgical turbinoplasty in alleviating the symptoms of allergic inferior turbinate hypertrophy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This prospective study was conducted on 30 adult patients with symptomatic hypertrophy of inferior turbinate which was refractory to medical treatment. All patients underwent surgical turbinoplasty. Symptoms were assessed using SNOT score pre-operatively and at 1 week, 1 and 3 months postoperatively. RESULTS: All 30 patients showed significant improvement in symptoms right from the first post-operative week, which persisted till the last follow-up at 3 months. There was a significant decrease in the SNOT scores for nasal obstruction, headache, sneezing, nasal discharge and pain at 1 week, 1 and 3 months (p < 0.05). Overall, there was improvement in the symptoms of nasal obstruction, nasal discharge, sneezing, headache and pain in 90%, 85.71%, 75%, 80% and 90% of patients, respectively. CONCLUSION: Surgical turbinoplasty is a safe and effective modality in the treatment of allergic inferior turbinate hypertrophy.
