Summary

Research Question: Performing partial turbinectomy associated with rhinoseptoplasty is responsible for an increase in quality of life related to nasal obstruction when compared to no intervention in rhinoseptoplasty inferior turbinate? * Population: patients eligible for functional rhinoseptoplasty and / or aesthetic * Intervention: surgery, turbinectomy of inferior turbinates * Comparison: the absence of intervention in inferior turbinates * Primary endpoint: Quality of life related to nasal obstruction

Conditions

• Deviated Nasal Septum
• Nasal Septal Defect
• Nasal Septum, Irregular

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Rhinoseptoplasty	Rhinoseptoplasty without turbinectomy procedure
PROCEDURE	Partial turbinectomy	After medial dislocation of the inferior turbinate, proceed partial resection of the inferior turbinate in all its inferior extension in range. Possible bleeding is cauterized.
PROCEDURE	Endoscopic partial turbinectomy	Endoscopy to medial dislocation of the inferior turbinate with instrument
