2022年10月22日 · Submucosal resection (SMR) of the nose is a surgical procedure used to treat a deviated septum. This procedure is also called a septoplasty. According to some sources, septoplasty differs from SMR in that during an SMR, large portions of tissue are removed while a septoplasty is a "tissue sparing" procedure.

2023年8月26日 · The submucosal resection or SMR is a surgical procedure to remove unnecessary tissue from the nose’s filters also known as enlarged turbinates. When the turbinates enlarge it can obstruct nasal airways and result in difficulty in breathing. Some people even experience sinusitis, headaches, and pains.

Ever wondered what exactly is a Submucosal Resection? SMR is a surgery performed on your nose if you suffer from a deviated septum. However this type of surgery is not always performed, usually a septoplasty will be done, but if you suffer from chronic sinus infections or if you have not responded to other treatments then SMR may be done.

SMR (submucous resection) removes the deviated septum or decreases the sign of external deviation. In SMR, the surgeon accesses the septum by elevating the flaps on both sides, but in Septorhinoplasty, the flaps are lifted from the concave side of the nose.

2019年10月26日 · A septoplasty involves making an incision inside your nose along the middle cartilaginous area, or the septum and removing the deviated portions of the cartilage to make both nostrils more equal and to allow air to move more easily through the nasal passage. SMR, or submucous resection, also opens up the nasal passageways to make breathing easier.

2009年4月1日 · Relevant anatomy and physiology of the nose and nasal septum are discussed. The essentials of a complete diagnostic evaluation are outlined. The evolution of surgical approaches to the correction of a deviated septum, including classic submucosal resection, traditional septoplasty, and open techniques, is covered.

Submucosal Resection (SMR) of the Inferior Turbinate The turbinates (inferior, middle and superior) consist of three boney shelves positioned along the side wall of the nasal cavity. The turbinates function to humidify and warm air as it passes through the nose en route to the lungs.

mucous resection (SMR) was first described by Freer in 1902 and by Killian in 1904. The preserva-tion of bilateral mucoperichondrial flaps and carti-laginous supports were considered essential in their technique.2,3 The major complications of this pro-cedure are septal perforation, saddling of nose and retraction of the columella and residual de-

(SMR/Septoplasty) Introduction This booklet aims to give you an idea of what will happen to you and how long you can expect to stay in hospital. What is submucous resection (SMR)/septoplasty? The nasal septum is the partition between the nostrils, which is made of bone and cartilage, and is covered by nasal lining (mucosa). A

The surgical procedure known as submucosal resection (SMR) of the nose is used to treat a deviated septum. A septoplasty is another name for this operation. Some sources claim that the difference between SMR and septoplasty is that SMR involves the removal of significant amounts of tissue, whereas septoplasty is a “tissue sparing” treatment.
