A double‐blind, randomized, intra‐individual controlled feasibility trial comparing the use of 1,470 and 940 nm diode laser for the treatment of hyperplastic inferior nasal turbinates

Abstract

1,470 nm diode laser system offers an efficient method for tissue reduction in hyperplasia of inferior nasal turbinate. Compared with our standard practice (940 nm diode laser), 1,470 nm diode laser application provides an equivalent tissue reduction in shorter operation time using less total energy and a comparable relief of nasal obstruction postoperatively.
