Abstract

Brookings, S. D., March 4, 1907. To the Editor: —After reading with interest the article of Dr. Kuyk inThe Journalof March 2, in which he describes his method of dealing with hypertrophy of the inferior turbinate, I am prompted to describe a method which has proved successful in my hands. The observations of Dr. Kuyk on such points as excessive removal of tissue, the destruction of the function of mucous glands, etc., are wise. I would discard entirely the cautery for this work and make use of methods which are more truly surgical. The class of cases in which the cautery is still advised I believe can be treated more satisfactorily and with fewer objectionable results by the method which I have been using. I refer to those chronically swollen turbinates which shrink under the application of adrenalin and give free breathing space. The turgescence is accounted for
