First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compared two surgical procedures—partial turbinectomy and submucosal diathermy—for treating nasal blockage caused by enlarged turbinates. Researchers enrolled 58 adults who had not improved with medications. They measured pain, obstruction, and crusting after surgery to see which technique offered better outcomes.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could show which surgery better relieves nasal blockage and reduces pain and crusting for people with enlarged turbinates.
