Pyriform Turbinoplasty and Lateral Nasal Wall Lateralization: Practical Hints on How We Do It

Pyriform turbinoplasty (PT) is a surgical option for the management of turbinate hypertrophy. The philosophy and goal of the procedure are to improve the symptoms of a restricted airway while preserving function. We report a case of surgical management of inferior turbinate (IT) hypertrophy with PT...

description Pyriform turbinoplasty (PT) is a surgical option for the management of turbinate hypertrophy. The philosophy and goal of the procedure are to improve the symptoms of a restricted airway while preserving function. We report a case of surgical management of inferior turbinate (IT) hypertrophy with PT and lateral nasal wall lateralization (LNWL). PT and LNWL improve nasal airflow, providing a wider nasal cavity by the removal of the bone of the IT. Sustained symptomatic improvement has been documented and is less susceptible to the influence of turbinate hypertrophy with other techniques.
