Panamerican Association Of Otorhinolaryngology: Minimally Invasive Procedures To Treat Nasal Airway Obstruction Secondary To Nasal Valve Collapse
Nasal valve collapse is a well-recognized contributor to nasal obstruction, often persisting despite corrective procedures targeting the septum and turbinates. Many patients who have previously undergone nasal surgery are hesitant to pursue additional major reconstructive interventions. Instead, they seek minimally invasive solutions to enhance vestibular function and address nasal valve collapse without extensive surgical procedures.
This course will provide an in-depth review of the presenter's experience with innovative, office-based techniques designed to improve nasal airflow. It will explore the latest advancements in minimally invasive approaches, including the placement of small absorbable implants to stabilize dynamic nasal valve obstruction. Additionally, the course will highlight a groundbreaking system that enables precise remodeling of the internal nasal valve, inferior turbinates, and septal swell body using a radiofrequency probe—improving nasal airway function with reduced downtime for patients.
Dr. Pablo Stolovitzky will share his insights, clinical experience, and practical expertise on these evolving techniques. He will discuss key aspects of each procedure, including surgical methodology, advantages, limitations, and potential complications. Attendees will also gain valuable knowledge regarding expected reimbursement for newly introduced procedural codes.
Through detailed case studies and real-world applications, this presentation aims to equip practitioners with the necessary tools to confidently integrate these advanced techniques into their clinical practice, ultimately improving patient outcomes.
