Coblation Assisted Surgeries
Coblation Turbinate Channeling
Coblation Turbinate Chanelling is a safe and effective procedure for inferior turbinate reduction. It is used to address nasal obstruction caused by hypertrophic or enlarged turbinates. The goal is to reduce the size of the turbinates by creating controlled channels or modifications in the turbinate tissue. This aims to improve airflow through the nasal passages and alleviate symptoms of nasal congestion and obstruction.
Coblation turbinate channelling is typically performed as an outpatient procedure for both adults and children under local or general anaesthesia. The coblation wand is inserted into the nasal cavity, and under direct visualisation (often using an endoscope), targeted areas of the turbinates are treated to reduce their volume. Unlike traditional turbinate reduction techniques that may involve more aggressive tissue removal, coblation turbinate channelling aims to preserve the function of the turbinates while reducing their size.
