  • Title: [Partial inferior turbinectomy with security (T.I.P.S.) in chronic nasal obstruction: personal surgical technique and outcome].
    Author: Bambule G.
    Journal: Schweiz Med Wochenschr Suppl; 2000; 116():116S-119S. PubMed ID: 10780090.
    Abstract:
    Partial inferior turbinectomy with security (PITS) was performed in 224 patients. In 206 cases (92%) surgery was bilateral and 76 patients (34%) had no other associated intervention. The follow-up period ranged in the whole group from 12 to 64 months (mean 31 months). In the group of 76 patients the follow-up period ranged from 12 to 55 months (mean 28 months). The nasal obstruction was significantly reduced in 204 cases (91% of all patients operated on). The group of 76 cases including 9 children underwent isolated bilateral turbinectomy with 90% successful results. The principal interest of this publication is a detailed description of this new personal technique for a safe, rapid, non-haemorrhagic and inexpensive method which can be easily performed even in children and also in one-day surgery.
