Endoscopic Potassium-Titanyl-Phosphate Laser Treatment for the Reduction of Hypertrophic Inferior Nasal Turbinate

Abstract

The findings proved that, with the use of an endoscope, the KTP/532 laser appears to be an excellent alternative for treating hypertrophic inferior turbinate.

A Novel Approach to Brachycephalic Syndrome. 2. Laser‐Assisted Turbinectomy (LATE)

“…30 To achieve this, many different types of energy have been applied to conchal tissue. The effects of laser surgery [31][32][33][34] as well as other types of energy such as cryo-, electro-, and radiofrequency surgery are evaluated widely but still controversial. 30,35,36 To the authors' knowledge, endonasal laser surgery has not previously been described in the dog.…”

Comparison of long term results after Ho:YAG and diode laser treatment of hyperplastic inferior nasal turbinates

“…Several surgical procedures including conchotomy, inferior turbinoplasty, partial and total turbinectomy, lateral outfracture, electrocautery, cryotherapy, chemical cauterization, vidian neurectomy, and laser therapy have been described for the reduction of hyperplastic inferior nasal turbinates [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. The application of a series of different laser systems such as CO 2 [12][13][14][29][30][31], Nd:YAG [15,16], KTP [17,32,33], Argon-ion [18], and Ho:YAG laser [19,20,34,35] have been discussed successfully in various clinical trials.…”
