See a video showing inferior turbinate submucous resection and how it can treat a chronic stuffy nose.
In previous posts I've showed you what the inside of the nose looks like and what a deviated septum looks like. Last week I showed you a video showing you before and after septoplasty (septum straightening) surgery. Continuing with that theme (and the same patient as the septum straightening video) today I'll show you a video of actual inferior turbinate submucous resection surgery.How Inferior Turbinate Submucous Resection (SMR) Surgery Is Done
