[Analysis on the septum correction and plasma radiofrequency ablation combination therapy for nasal septum deviation].

OBJECTIVE:To discuss a effective method of nasal septum deviation. METHOD:One hundred and sixteen subjects with nasal septum deviation were divided into treatment group (69 subjects) and control group (47 subjects) randomly. The combination therapy of correction of deviated nasal septum and plasma radiofrequency ablation were used in the treatment group. The combination therapy of deviated nasal septum and partial inferior turbinectomy were used in the control group. The data were analyzed by statistical method. RESULT:The effective rate of physical signs and symptoms of the treatment group was 100.0%, while the control group was 85.1%. There was significant difference of two effective rates (P < 0.05). Furthermore, hyperventilation and nasal adhesion were not happened in treatment group 6 months after treatments. CONCLUSION:The correction of deviated nasal septum and plasma radiofrequency ablation combination therapy had the satisfied and safety treatment effect, which was and plasma radiofrequency ablation combination therapy had the satisfied and safety treatment effect, which was easy for observation as well as the minimal tissue damage. The combination therapy method was according with the principle of functional minimally invasive surgery.
