Harinarayana.N, Shreya Mahendra
Abstract: Rhinitis is defined as inflammation of nasal mucos, a common disorder affecting up to 40 % of the population. Allergic rhinitis is an IgE - mediated immunologic response of nasal mucosa to air borne allergens and is characterised by watery nasal discharge, nasal obstruction, sneezing and itching in the nose. It is distributed mainly in males, aged between 20-40 years. The commonest finding is hypertrophied inferior turbinate producing nasal obstruction. The best result is by inferior turbinoplasty which gives almost complete relief. A clinical study undertaken to study the various problems with allergic rhinitis, which require surgical management to relieve symptomology. Various surgical techniques employed, complications and outcome of these procedures is studied in a two year prospective study from 2015 2017 at S. V.
