Abstract

Inferior turbinates of 28 patients whose chief complaint was nasal obstruction or hyposmia caused by nasal obstruction were treated with CO2 laser on an out-patient basis. Between 4 to 10 weeks after laser surgery, subjective symptoms which were nasal obstruction, nasal discharge, loss of sense of smell, postnasal discharge, headache, and nasal improvement as a whole were traced. Every symptom showed a tendency toward improvement, and more than 90% of patients showed either much improvement, or improvement of nasal obstruction and general improvement as a whole. We have comfirmed the effectiveness of CO2 laser surgery. There were no complications such as bleeding or infection after surgery among these patients.
