Microdebrider turbinectomy shrinks enlarged turbinates, the ridges of tissue inside the nose, using a small rotating blade that takes away tissue beneath the lining to improve airflow.

Changi General Hospital in Singapore describes microdebrider-assisted turbinate reduction as a 15 to 20 minute procedure under local or general anaesthetic that takes away soft tissue through a small tunnel; results come faster than with energy-based methods, with a slightly higher bleeding risk.

Radiofrequency or coblation shrinks tissue with energy, whereas cautery is simpler but can cause more crusting.

Bleeding is the main early risk and crusting lasts a few weeks, with normal activity after about one to two weeks.

Dryness or empty nose symptoms after too much tissue is taken out are very rare.

Flying home: cabin pressure changes can cause pain or trouble after ear, nose or sinus surgery, so the ENT surgeon checks you are fit to fly at the review appointment.

A Gurgaon quote for microdebrider turbinectomy is normally made up of these items:

• Pre-operative tests: blood work, imaging and an anaesthetic assessment.
• Theatre and anaesthesia charges: mostly set by time in the operating room.
• Consultant fees: which differ from one hospital to the next.
• Type of operation: open, keyhole or robotic where there is a choice.
• Turbinates treated: one side or both.
• Septoplasty at the same time: if the septum is bent.
• Anaesthesia: local or general.
• Follow-up: crust cleaning.

Ask the Gurgaon hospital whether the quote includes the anaesthetist, the hearing or pathology tests and the post-operative clinic appointments.
