Traditional methods There are many different techniques, such as electrocautery, cryotherapy (cryoturbinectomy), laser vaporization and turbinoplasty. They all require general anesthesia. Radiofrequency ablation The use of radiofrequency ablation has shown to be a safer alternative procedure, being performed under an outpatient procedure, using lidocaine for local anesthesia. It does not alter epithelial structure or function. It causes no postoperative pain, bleeding, or crusting; although it can cause some temporary nasal blockage or rhinorrhea due to resulting inflammation.
