Arms Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: A1
since the two methods of turbinectomy are in used on a regular basis there is no way to perform double blind study- both the surgeon and the patients are well aware of the operation they are about to go. we just compare several parameters in patients who are anyway about to undergo an operation in a specific method that is used by their surgeon
 Procedure: bilateral nasal inferior turbinectomy
the operation is performed endonasally under general or local anesthesia, the inferior turbinates are resected and removed
Other Name: inferior conchectomy
Active Comparator: A2
the resection of the inferior turbinates will be performed endonasally with an endoscopical instruments
 Procedure: endoscopic submucosal resection of the inferior turbinates
surgery of the inferior turbinates- endonasally with endoscopic instruments and by performing submucosal resection of the nasal turbinates
Other Name: submucosal conchectomy

Detailed Description:

The two methods of nasal inferior turbinectomy are well popularized and in use for long periods of time. Endoscopic submucosal inferior turbinectomy is performed in our hospital and blunt turbinectomy is performed usually in privat clinics outside the hospital where there is no endoscopic equipment. We will examine both subjective (QOL questionaire) and objective parameters(rhinomanometry- a non invasive method to evaluate nasal airflow, saccharine test, nasal endoscopy) in our comparison of the outcome of these two methods.
