[Partial middle turbinatectomy and folded for nasonsociliary neuralgia by transnasal endoscopic surgery].
OBJECTIVE
To explore into the feasibility and outcome of partial middle turbinetectomy and folded for nasociliary neuralgia by transnasal endoscopic surgery.


METHODS
Forty patients with nasociliary neuralgia were treated by partial middle turbinatectomy and folded.


RESULTS
All patients have got sufficient of factory sulcus without hyposmia. The curable rate and the improve rate were 97.5% and 2.5%, respectively, with the total effective rate 100%.


CONCLUSIONS
This procedure present an ideal effect. It is a safe, minimally invasive and efficient procedure for nasociliary neuralgia.
