Abstract

Transnasal resection of the posterior nasal nerve (TRPN) is the surgical procedure for drug therapy-resistant, intractable allergic rhinitis (AR). Submucous inferior turbinectomy also improves nasal symptoms in severe AR. Surgical injury to this peripheral nerve fibre may be the major cause of the decrease in allergic symptoms. During submucous turbinectomy, we have identified the peripheral branches of the posterior nasal nerve in the inferior turbinate and resected them (SRPN). The aim of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic effects of turbinoplasty with SRPN in severe AR. Improvements in subjective symptoms were compared between 13 patients who underwent SRPN with turbinoplasty (Group 1) and 11 who underwent TRPN combined with turbinoplasty and SRPN (Group 2) by retrospective chart review. Pre- and postoperative sneezing, rhinorrhea, and nasal obstruction were evaluated with questionnaires. Postoperative complications and drug therapy before and after surgery were investigated. All symptoms improved postoperatively in both groups, with no significant differences in the improvements in nasal symptom scores between the groups. SRPN combined with submucosal turbinectomy was shown to be a safe, useful, and efficient approa...Continue Reading

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.
