 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 5 Endoscopic ablation plasma with 200 patients with hypertrophic rhinitis Of: Yue Licheng, Wang, Yue Lide, Jiangyu Qiu, Zhang Shuang [Keywords:] nasal endoscope; low-temperature plasma ablation; chronic hypertrophic rhinitis Chronic hypertrophic rhinitis is common disease, patients are the main symptoms of persistent nasal obstruction, usually caused by autonomic disorders, vasomotor dysfunction nasal mucosa nasal mucosa caused by the deep arteries and veins, especially in the spongy tissue of the inferior turbinate vasodilator and then the inferior turbinate fibrous tissue hyperplasia, hypertrophy, or even nodular, mulberry-like or polypoid changes [1]. on the treatment of chronic hypertrophic rhinitis, multiple times using the traditional cut inferior turbinate surgery, followed by laser or microwave treatment, but post-operative bleeding and complications, but the treatment of difficult issues. our department from March 2006 to March 2009, the use of nasal endoscopic ablation plasma treatment of chronic hypertrophic rhinitis, and achieved good results , reported as follows. 1 Clinical data and methods 1.1 General Information March 2006 to March 2009, our department treated follow-up low-temperature plasma ablation in the treatment of chronic hypertrophic rhinitis, 200 patients, male 135 cases, 65 females, aged 15 to 70 years; course of 2 to 25 years, average 13.5 years .200 patients by surgery, laser, microwave treatment of 25 cases of recurrence, the rest were treated conservatively with no response. the control group: 88 cases, male 65 cases, 23 females, aged from 20 to 68 years, 3 2003 January to February 2006 using microwave treatment of chronic rhinitis cases. 1.2 Treatment Patient sitting, nasal fill sliver of 1% tetracaine adrenaline, mucosal anesthesia with 1% lidocaine into the inferior turbinate mucosa, using U.S. plasma treatment, use E4145 probe, excitation frequency is 100KHz, the nose endoscopic prob
