Key Points

To objectively evaluate the volume loss of inferior turbinates after radiofrequency ablation using imaging techniques.
Conducted imaging evaluations using computed tomography and acoustic rhinometry.
Monitored patients post-surgery for turbinate volume changes.
Analyzed volume loss metrics to assess efficacy of the intervention.
Objective measurements indicated significant turbinate volume reduction post-RFA.
Results suggest that radiofrequency ablation is effective for reducing turbinate size.

Implication

Evaluation of turbinate volume loss in participants undergoing radiofrequency ablation, suggesting effective intervention outcomes.

Abstract

Background: Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of the inferior turbinates is a popular surgical intervention that aims to reduce turbinate volume. However, in a few studies, the amount of volume loss was analyzed objectively.
