Although inferior turbinectomy with submucosal resection effectively reduces the volume of the inferior turbinate, there is room for improvement in surgical procedures. Techniques have been developed to reduce crusting and bleeding while efficiently achieving volume reduction. State-of-the-art procedures pertaining to the local injection site, incision line, exposure of the periosteum, submucosal outfracture of the turbinate bone, trimming of redundant mucosa, and incision line suturing are described. Pre and postoperative Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) scores and postoperative inferior turbinate bleeding and crusting were evaluated. For the 18 consecutive patients analyzed, the pre and postoperative NOSE scores were 67.8 ± 14.8 and 16.1 ± 13.0, respectively (P = .0002). Postoperatively, bleeding was absent, and only minor suture thread crusting was observed in 13 patients. In conclusion, our novel technique improves the effectiveness of surgery as well as the postoperative quality of the inferior turbinate.
