[The effect of two surgical method on treatment of allergic rhinitis complicated with nasal septum deviation].

Objective: To evaluate the effect of two surgical methods on treatment of allergic rhiniti complicated with nasal septum deviation.
Method: Eighty-seven cases of allergic rhiniti complicated with nasal septum deviation were divided into 2 groups according to the degree of mucosal hypertrophy and hyperplasia of bone in inferior turbinate. They were treated by resection of nasal septum deviation combined with temperature-controlled radio-frequency, or combined with partial submucoperiosteous resection of inferior turbinate bone. The Lanzhou standard (2004) and nasal airway resistance were used to evaluate the efficacy.
Result: After one year follow-up time, the nasal resistance was significantly decreased and the effective rates were greater than 88% in each group.
Conclusion: Both of the two surgical methods can significantly depress the nasal resistance and improve the allergic symptoms, which shows good effect.
