Is there a way to shrink the turbinates to breathe better?
A new procedure “radiofrequency reduction of the turbinates” has been developed recently to shrink the volume of the turbinates. By working under the surface of the turbinate, this can be safely performed in the office with little, if any, bleeding or pain, and the patient can go back to work the same day. Surgery Center of Charleston is a JCAHO (the organization that inspects and accredits hospitals) accredited ambulatory surgery facility utilized for outpatient ENT surgical procedures such as ventilation tube placement, sinus surgery, ear surgery, tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy and throat and vocal surgery. The facilities and equipment have been specifically designed to provide complete otolaryngology care in an efficient, “state-of-the-art” center. The “InstaTrak” sinus technology for the surgical treatment of advanced, more difficult sinus disease is available in the Charleston area only in this facility.
