Here is some information about turbinectomy and how to contact the NHS:
What is a Turbinectomy?
A turbinectomy is a surgical procedure to remove or reduce the size of the turbinate bones in the nasal passages. The turbinate bones are thin, curved bones that help to warm, humidify, and filter the air we breathe. However, in some cases, they can become enlarged and cause nasal congestion, sinusitis, and other breathing problems.
Indications for Turbinectomy
Turbinectomy may be recommended for individuals who have:
- Chronic nasal congestion or sinusitis
- Recurring sinus infections
- Nasal polyps or other nasal obstructions
- Allergies or chronic rhinitis
- Deviated septum or other nasal anatomy issues
