title: [Lower turbinectomy with endoscopic guidance. Mid-term results].
abstract: The authors report about their experience with partial lower turbinectomy. Twenty-nine cases were followed up over an average time lapse of 2 years. Anterior rhinomanometry was performed pre- and postoperatively in all patients. The results include 26 successful operations (90%) and 3 failures, one case of hemorrhage on pack removal and one of synechia. In view of the 3 failures, the authors are presently favorable to subtotal lower turbinectomy.
