ABSTRACT
To compare post-operative complications of total inferior turbinectomy and submucous resection of inferior turbinate. Randomized control trial [RCT]. This study was conducted in the department of ENT-Head and Neck surgery, Combined Military Hospital Rawalpindi, from 14[th] April 2007 to 13[th] October 2007. After getting informed consent 60 patients, fulfilling the inclusion criteria, reporting to ENT department during study period were selected. The patients were assigned to two groups A and B by random number table. Group A underwent submucous resection of inferior turbinate and group B underwent total inferior turbinectomy. Periorbital ecchymosis, bleeding and nasal crusting were studied on 1[st], 2[nd], 7[th] and 14[th] post-op day. Submucous resection of turbinates is associated with less bleeding and crusting as compared to total inferior turbinectomy. Submucous resection is a safer method of turbinate reduction as compared to total inferior turbinectomy
