PG  - 116S-119S
AB  - Partial inferior turbinectomy with security (PITS) was performed in 224 patients. 
      In 206 cases (92%) surgery was bilateral and 76 patients (34%) had no other 
      associated intervention. The follow-up period ranged in the whole group from 12 
      to 64 months (mean 31 months). In the group of 76 patients the follow-up period 
      ranged from 12 to 55 months (mean 28 months). The nasal obstruction was 
      significantly reduced in 204 cases (91% of all patients operated on). The group 
      of 76 cases including 9 children underwent isolated bilateral turbinectomy with 
      90% successful results. The principal interest of this publication is a detailed 
      description of this new personal technique for a safe, rapid, non-haemorrhagic 
      and inexpensive method which can be easily performed even in children and also in 
      one-day surgery.
