Abstract:
Submucosal diathermy (SMD) of the inferior turbinates is widely used, although its effect histologically has not been well shown. We attempted to demonstrate the acute histological changes of SMD by performing it immediately prior to inferior turbinectomy. The results found help to explain the unpredictability of producing a clinical response.
