For the septoplasty, a small cut is made on the inside of your nose on the septum and any bent or obstructing bone/cartilage is removed or straightened. The reconstructed nasal septum is secured with internal stitches. The stitches used inside the Cautery of Inferior Turbinates (CIT) What is Cautery of the Inferior Turbinates (CIT)? The turbinates are cushion-like shelves that protrude into the nasal cavity. The turbinates increase the surface area of the inside of the nose and boost its ‘air conditioning’ and air-filtering functions.
Figure 2. Incision at anterior end of inferior turbinate. Figure 3. The results of turbinate reduction surgery carried out on 307 patients are reviewed.
They filter, moisten, and heat air as it enters the nose. They are made of small bones surrounded by soft tissue.
The stitches used inside the The surgeon makes an incision in the lining mucosa of the turbinate and carefully removes the underlying bone of the turbinate. Your surgeon may elect to use a microdebrider to thin the tissue around the turbinate. Alternately, they may be cauterized with radio frequency or electrical current (cautery or radiofrequency surgery). Septoplasty, also called deviated septum surgery, may be performed at the same time to further improve nasal function and breathing. Under general anesthesia, the natural openings of the sinuses are first enlarged. Any abnormalities in the sinuses are removed. The entire procedure is done through the nostrils with no external incisions.
turbinate surgery and septoplasty are performed at the same time. It is important that the turbinate not be removed completely because that can affect the function of the turbinates. Complete turbinate removal can result in a very dry and crusty nose. Occasionally, turbinate tissue will re-grow after turbinate surgery and the procedure may need to

A powered septoplasty with turbinoplasty is a FESS procedure in which your ENT surgeon straightens your septum to improve breathing and sinus drainage.
