No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study will examine whether treatment of inferior turbinates in patients with continued symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea, sleep related breathing disorder, snoring, disturbed sleeping, open mouth breathing, and upper airway resistance syndrome after tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy will improve these symptoms and should be included in the treatment paradigm for treatment of sleep related breathing disorders in infants, children, and adolescents.

Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Cold ablation inferior turbinate reduction

The procedure usually takes 30 minutes and involves the surgeon inserting the coblation inferior turbinate reduction wand into the inferior turbinates and allowing for the radiofrequency cold ablation to ablate soft tissues, with a resultant thermal lesion allowing for additional soft tissue attenuation and contracture with time.
