There are many authors advocating this surgical procedure in cases where septoplasty alone isn`t efficient enough. We made short prospective study in which we approved joined surgical procedures for improving nasal function. Study was done with 2 groups of patients. In first group of patients (A) septoplasty alone was done, in second (group B) we done partial turbinectomy too. Preoperative there were significant difference in rhinomanometic readings between these two groups, but postoperatively there were not, which lead us to the conclusion that use of this method is justified in cases where turbinate enlargement is significant. In both groups there were significant (p<0, 01) improving in postoperative rhinomanometric results.
