Abstract
This is the protocol for a review and there is no abstract. The objectives are as follows:
- To assess the effectiveness of inferior turbinate surgery on unrelieved or partially relieved nasal obstruction in patients after maximal medical treatment of proven allergic rhinitis.
- To compare the results of the different techniques that are used for this procedure.
- To assess both short and long term results, and the complications of the procedure.
