Taneja] Objective: To compare the efficacy of intraturbinate monopolar cautery, bipolar cautery, high frequency monopolar and high frequency bipolar cautery in inferior turbinate hypertrophy. Study design: Prospective randomized single blinded clinical study Method: The study comprised of 80 patients divided in 4 groups each of 20 patients who underwent monopolar cautery, Bipolar cautery, high frequency monopolar and bipolar intra-turbinate cautery. Patients were evaluated on the 7th post operative day and 1 year after the surgery & saccharine transit time test also performed and compared. Results: Remarkable improvement was recorded in nasal obstruction and quality of life. The Saccharine transit time test showed a comparable frequency and confirmed maintenance of mucociliary mechanism.
