Turbinate Coblation Surgery

What is Turbinate Coblation Surgery?

Turbinate Coblation Surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that reduces the size of the turbinates in your nose using controlled plasma energy. This helps to improve airflow and relieve chronic nasal congestion, making it easier to breathe and enhancing overall quality of life. The surgery is typically quick, with a fast recovery time, and is an effective solution for those experiencing persistent nasal blockages that haven’t responded to other treatments.

When is Turbinate Coblation Surgery Recommended?

Turbinate Coblation Surgery at Medfin Bangalore is typically recommended for individuals who suffer from:

• Persistent Nasal Congestion: When nasal congestion persists despite using medications or other treatments.
• Difficulty Breathing Through the Nose: If you consistently struggle to breathe through your nose, particularly at night.
• Frequent Sinus Infections: Recurrent sinus infections caused by swollen turbinates blocking nasal passages.
• Snoring or Sleep Apnea: When enlarged turbinates contribute to snoring or obstructive sleep apnea, affecting your sleep quality.

If these symptoms persist and other treatments have been ineffective, Turbinate Coblation Surgery might be the right solution for you.
