Is it true that rhinitis cannot be completely cured? (Nasal Congestion Revision Surgery)2024-09-11 |
If
you have undergone surgery for nasal congestion and are experiencing nasal
blockage again, I got some news for you. Today, we will take the time to explore the recurrence of nasal congestion and revision surgeries. Is it true that rhinitis cannot
be completely cured? First of all, conditions like rhinitis or sinusitis occur when there are triggering factors and improve when those factors are eliminated. You can think of when you catch a cold! When we catch a cold, the concept of "cure" does not mean that we won’t catch it again after we recover, and rhinitis or sinusitis is also treated with the goal of reducing the likelihood of recurrence. Even if it recurs, the aim is to ensure it is less bothersome than before and heals quicker. What if nasal congestion recurs after surgery? ✔ Recurrence of rhinitis ✔ Recurrence of septal deviation ✔ Nasal valve stenosis ✔ Complications after rhinitis surgery Did you have surgery due to severe rhinitis or nasal blockage that made daily life difficult, but now you're experiencing nasal congestion again? In cases where nasal obstruction is caused by misalignment of bones or cartilage, if the surgery has properly corrected the alignment, it typically does not recur without any specific reason. The causes of nasal congestion can vary. It is important to receive treatment tailored to you based on a meticulous analysis of the internal structure of the nose with a diagnosis from an ENT specialist. How can we prevent revision surgery for nasal congestion?

Point 1 Analysis of Failure Causes If there has been insufficient improvement, we will conduct a thorough analysis of the failure causes using 3D-CT and endoscopic equipment to understand the condition of the nasal cavity. We will check whether the area needing improvement has been over-corrected or if other areas have been mistakenly corrected, and we will carry out an analysis for further correction. Point 2 Conducting Surgery to Prevent Recurrence The issues of the first surgery should be addressed not only through precise examinations but also by receiving procedures from an experienced specialist who can resolve various causes to prevent secondary complications. At GNG, surgeries are performed by ENT specialists who possess expert anatomical knowledge of the nose and have extensive experience and expertise. |
