The surgical management of inferior turbinate enlargement is controversial. Submucosal electrosurgical techniques for turbinate reduction include conventional diathermy, radiofrequency tissue reduction and coblation. All electrosurgical techniques use radiofrequency electricity to damage turbinate tissue but differ in the control and delivery of energy. This review will examine the history of submucosal electrosurgery and clarify the various techniques. This review will also examine the evidence for the efficacy and safety of electrosurgery for the treatment of nasal turbinate enlargement, and will make a case that no progress will be made in clinical trials on the safety and efficacy unless there is standardisation of equipment and techniques in nasal electrosurgery.

AbstractWe present a case of nasal deformity due to sarcoidosis. The surgical management is discussed. The risk of secondary involvement of implanted autologous cartilage by the disease is emphasized. For this reason an inert allograft (silastic) is recommended for augmentation in this group of patients.
