Humans can resist 40 days without eating and 4 days without
drinking, but only 4 minutes without breathing: this tells us much
about its fundamental importance. Breathed air is slowed down,
filtered, warmed and humidified by the nose; many mechanisms are
involved in this act, which prevent bronchial tubes and pulmonary
alveolus from receiving an excessive and sudden air load. It is
well known, on the other hand, that breathing through the mouth
causes a lot of problems: inflammatory diseases of the upper
airways, sleep apnea syndrome, but also, in some cases, bronchial,
pulmonary and even cardiac disorders, that are more easily
affecting patients not able to breathe correctly through the nose.
For this reason, restoring an efficient nasal function is a very
important - and in some cases crucial - issue. This book describes
in details an innovative surgical technique called modified
inferior turbinoplasty, which offers an excellent solution to the
problems associated with the lower turbinate hypertrophy. A
turbinate (or nasal concha) is a long, narrow, curled bone shelf
that protrudes into the breathing passage of the nose. Most
surgical interventions treat only the soft parts of hypertrophic
turbinates using laser therapy, radiofrequency treatment, and
electrocoagulation, but these procedures often lead to relapse.
With this technique, in contrast, all anatomic parts of the
turbinate are treated, including bone tissue: the surgeon reduces
the inferior nasal concha and the internal nasal tissue, and the
mucosa is then remodeled with sutures. The modified inferior
turbinoplasty allows the complete avoidance of swabs in the nose,
which is fundamental for patients well-being and grant them a
quicker recovery. The book will be very useful for
othorinolaryngologists, plastic surgeons, endoscopic and
maxillofacial surgeons.
