Rhinitis Treatment
Finding the root cause to provide appropriate treatment
Online Consultation Before and AfterWhat is Rhinitis?
Rhinitis is an inflammatory disease with a variety of symptoms such as runny nose, sneezing, stuffy nose, and itching. If the rhinitis is left untreated in the early stages, it will become chronic, and chronic rhinitis can cause other complications. Therefore, early treatment is important as it is difficult to correct later on. Rhinitis is caused by various reasons, and GNG strives to find the precise cause in order to provide the most appropriate treatment for each patient, making sure to treat the rhinitis without recurrence.

Process laser treatment
-
Enlarged lower turbinate
If nasal air passage is narrowed because of rhinitis inducing lower turbinate to get larger, a simple laser treatment can treat the problem.
Information of treatment
● A part of nasal mucosa is reduced using laser
● Local anesthesia
● 10~20minutes treatment time
● Able to resume daily activity right after treatment
-
Surgery process
-
Deviated septum
If the septum, which acts as a wall of the nose gets deviated, the lower turbinate is stimulated and this worsens rhinitis or causes nasal congestion and rhinitis itself. Therefore septum deviation must be corrected surgically.
Information of surgery
● A method where septum deviation is fixed by excising the least amount of cartilage to avoid recurrence as well as side effect
● Local anesthesia
● 15~25minutes surgery time
● Able to resume daily activities 3~4days after surgery
Nasal valve obstruction
Nasal valve is a roof of the nose which controls the flow of the air that enters through the nose. If this is narrowed, it accompanies symptoms and disease such as rhinitis and nasal congestion, in which nasal valve must be reconstructed.
Information of surgery
● The space in inner nasal roof is broadened to allow breathing with ease
● General anesthesia
● 30~40minutes surgery time
● Able to resume daily activities 3~4days after surgery
Point3 Recurred rhinitis should be treated at GNG Hospital
Rhinitis is a common disease that occurs due to a variety of causes, and there are various ways to treat it. If the root cause is not treated, there is a high chance of recurrence, which makes the primary surgery utmost important. If the first surgery fails, the revision surgery becomes more complex because of adhesion that took place after the first surgery. Therefore, it is ideal to make a systematic plan to identify the cause of the failure in the first surgery and make correction accordingly.
Reasons why revision rhinitis surgery is required
-
No improvement was made
Root cause was not identified or the treatment received was not appropriate for the root cause
Minor improvement / Recurred rhinitis
-
Complications after surgery
If too much of lower turbinate is removed, it causes
Dryness in the nose, throat and mouth/ and bleeding and burning sensation in the nose

Usage of the HEPA filter ventilation system in all operation rooms.
What is a HEPA filter ventilated operation room?
The air outside the operating room is filtered cleanly by the HEPA filter and circulated inside.
Because air is circulated by providing clean air through a positive pressure system, you don’t need to worry about infection caused by air pollution thus having surgery with confidence.
Also, there is an air-shower system that shakes off contaminated dust before entering the operating room. We strive to do our best in preventing infection through sterilization and thorough infection control of all medical devices.
Be rest assured! GNG’s operation rooms are meticulously clean.
