Turbinate reduction surgery, or inferior turbinate reduction, is a procedure where the inferior nasal turbinates are examined and reduced in size to provide improved nasal airflow. Surgery is typically performed through the nostrils on both sides of the nose. This procedure is typically performed in an operating room under general anesthesia. Sometimes this procedure is performed in conjunction with other procedures to improve nasal breathing.

Typically, children benefit from turbinate surgery when they have difficulty breathing through the nose. It can also cause snoring, difficulty sleeping, and nosebleeds because of turbulent airflow. This can result in drying of the mucous membranes lining the nose. Sense of smell can also be affected. Turbinate surgery would be recommended after oral and topical medication, allergy therapy and avoidance of irritants have not provided sufficient relief.

The child’s procedure takes place in an operating room. The procedure usually takes 20-30 minutes, but can take much longer depending on the severity and any other additional combined procedures planned.

Before and after surgery: a pediatric nurse prepares the child for surgery, assists the pediatric ENT surgeon during surgery, and cares for the child after the procedure.

Anesthesiology: The child is placed under general anesthesia by a pediatric anesthesiologist. It is important that the parent meet with the anesthesiologist prior to the procedure.

Surgery: A pediatric ENT surgeon may use specialized telescopes to systematically evaluate the nasal airway in conjunction with specialized nasal instruments.
