Haven't
you suffered from a stuffy nose long enough?
Somnoplasty®
Somnoplasty® is
a fast, effective way to relieve chronic nasal obstruction
due to enlarged inferior turbinates without the pain and
inconvenience associated with traditional techniques.
Unlike
standard electrosurgical approaches, the Somnoplasty® System
continuously monitors temperature, power, and impedance to provide
the physician with complete control over the procedure. The Somnoplasty Procedure
is performed in our office under local anesthesia.
Due
to the partially insulated electrode and the controlled temperature
used in treatment, the delicate mucosa is preserved and patients
experience minimal, if any, crusting and bleeding. The procedure
itself typically takes less than two minutes per turbinate. No
nasal packing is required and most patients do not require any
kind of postoperative analgesic.
