Abstract
Background: The inferior turbinates are bony and soft tissue projections that protrude into the nasal passages. Turbinate hypertrophy is observed in allergic, vasomotor and infectious rhinitis which leads to chronic nasal obstruction. The objective of this study is to evaluate the published literature for treatment outcomes for inferior turbinate hypertrophy. Methods: We searched PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane, and Web of Science, Embase, and Science Direct till December 2021 with relevant keywords. We used the following search strategy :(Turbinate OR “Nasal Concha” OR “Nasal Conchae” OR “Conchae Nasales” OR “Conchae Nasale”) AND (Hypertrophy OR “Inferior turbinate hypertrophy") AND (Electrocautery OR Thermocoagulation OR Galvanocautery OR “Surgical Diathermy” OR “Diathermy, Surgical” OR “end cavitary Fulguration” OR “Fulguration, Endo cavitary”) AND (Randomised OR Randomized OR cohort OR prospective). Results: the metanalysis found that RFA significantly improved nasal discharge with p-value
