Abstract

Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of radiofrequency (RF) ablation of the inferior tubinates in patients with and without allergic rhinitis.Methods: A prospective study including 47 patients who underwent radiofrequency ablation. The patients were divided into two groups according to allergic rhinitis status. The sinonasal outcome test-22 (SNOT-22), peak nasal flowmetry and the ‘‘Connecticut Chemosensory Clinical Research Center’’ test were administered in all patients before and after surgery.Results: Thirty-four patients with allergic rhinitis and 13 without were assessed. Both groups showed a significant improvement in SNOT-22 scores, peak flowmeter results, and olfactory function after the procedure (p0.05).Conclusion: RF ablation has positive effects on nasal airflow, quality of life and olfaction in patients with and without allergic rhinitis. However, it would be useful to note that patient satisfaction would be less in patients with allergic rhinitis.

Özet

Amaç: Çalışmada alt konkaya radyofrekans (RF) uygulamasının allerjik riniti olan ve olmayan hastalarda etkinliğinin karşılaştırıması amaçlanmıştır. Yöntemler: Çalışma alt konka RF ablasyon tedavisi uygulanan 47 hasta ile gerçekleştirildi. Hastalar alerjik rinit durumuna göre iki gruba ayrıldı. Hastaların tamamına işlem öncesi ve sonrası sinonasal outcome test-22 (SNOT-22) anketi, ‘‘Connecticut Kemosensör Klinik Araştırma Merkezi’’ koku testi ve nazal akım ölçme yöntemi uygulandı. Bulgular: Alerjik riniti olan 34 hasta ve olmayan 13 hasta değerlendirildi. Her iki grupta işlem sonrasında SNOT-22 skorlarında, nazal akış ölçer sonuçlarında ve koku alma fonksiyonlarında anlamlı iyileşme görüldü (p0,05). Sonuç: RF ablasyonunun alerjik riniti olan ve olmayan hastalarda nazal hava akımı, yaşam kalitesi ve koku alma üzerine olumlu etkileri vardır. Bununla birlikte, alerjik rinitli hastalarda hasta memnuniyetinin daha az olacağını not etmek faydalı olacaktır.
