Now how about doing Turbinate Surgery with a Septoplasty. Any difference in procedure when fixing deviated septum?

Hi I found your video very informative. My elderly mother who I hv noticed over 3 months, blood has been in her nasal cavity, mom suffers with high blood pressure and hayfever. Yesterday I went to see ENT specialist, he didn't explain anything about how the nasal vessels work within the nasal passage etc, basically he, didn't explain anything like you did within your video. He just explain the type of assessments, like; x-ray, put a camera within the nasal. He just asked when was the last time mom's nose had bleed, then he went onto said there's 10% reasons for bleeds and majority of the time there's no explanation for why the nose hv blood high up in the top of the nose. I'd could it be a connection to mom's blood pressure, he said may. With the Nasal cream you'd mentioned "Naseptin nasal cream" he said do not use cotton bud or your finger, push the actual high up into mom nasal in the direction of her eye socket, then squeeze the cream straight into her nasal passage, he then said don't clean out mom's nose, as it will take off any scabs in the nose, just use a syringe with saline water, or warm saltire water clean out inside mom nasal. I just had the feeling he was giving me bad advice. I need to know why mom has suddenly been having onset bleeding inside her nostrils?.. I need medical advice?.

Can you have this surgery done every 3-5 years without ENS or pathological scarring? I ask for the cases where the turbinates grow again and again

Thank you very much for explaining all this.

20-40 minutes??!?!!? My operation was approximately 98 minutes 🥹😅 After watching this Video I would be surprised if mine took the whole 98 they estimated, i wonder if that 98 minute calculation was Including my Remaining Period of Unconsciousness after the Operation?!? (And then i spent what was probably 2.5 maybe even 3 Hours in Recovery, Puking my Guts out, Gushing Blood from my nose and Feeling the Worst Sensations and Symptoms ever! (If anyone reading this comment is about to have a septoplasty, I pray you dont smoke Cannabis daily like i do, and If so, take a week Long tolerance break beforehand because i was apparently Having Hightened Withdrawals AND they also said I was having medicine resistance fron what they use in the IV apparently all Issues due to my daily Cannabis consumption!?!?!!?) One day without it wasnt a good enough effort on my part obviously! Paid the Price too because the Nurse was supposed to go Home and She stuck around to Monitor my Vitals and condition, even though She knew other nurses were ready to takeover the Task 😮

Well done. As a candidate for the device, I would like to learn more about physical activity, regarding Inspire implant. Thank you!

Does the cholsteoma go into the mastoid bone (infect the skull bone)?

Can you please talk about deviated septum I have a deviated septum and have hayfever can you talk to us about this thank you

Any advice in what I can do in the mean time whilst waiting for the NHS referral for sleep apnea? I’ve been doing positional therapy and myofunctional exercises but still find myself frequently waking up in the night and snoring very loudly

Thank you vik where are you based in London and can we consult with you for checkups thanks

What a great idea! I can tell my mom buying PS5 is a doctor's order!

Hi Dr. Veer. Question. Does outfracturing turbinates have a higiher risk of ENS than radiofrequency ablation?

I have swollen turbinates for at least 7 years now, I had a procedure called Vivear, which didn't help at all ..after two years of still suffering I had surgery..the ENT took out some bone but said he couldn't take out much because of all the scar tissue left from the vivear treatment... And he told me there was nothing else he could do for me. I still suffer... Not sure what else to do...I go back to a new ENT next week . Wish you was my doctor...I need someone that actually knows what they're doing .

Still too dangerous 😢

Thank you Mr. Veer! Your explanation gives me a lot of confidence if one day I have to undergo this operation!

Iam very scared of ens….. I get a septoplasty soon and they told me the yalways reduce turninates with it. Is it worth without ?

Hello Dr Veer Thanks for treating me with this exact same procedure, recovering well😊 It makes sense as you say to not use any steroid sprays or decongestants before the procedure because you want as much tissue area as possible to work with

Thank you for the informative videos. I have learned so much from you. I have three questions for you. With Celon radiofrequency, do the turbinates usually grow back? Why do you prefer Celon radiofrequency to microdebrider? Do you accept international patients if they are willing to pay out-of-pocket?

3:22 Might the explanation be that some junior doctors are heading off troublesome bleeding or feeling shrinking things down to its true size gives a better reflection of what's being ablated? Cool pin

Saying that pH 7 distilled water is going to lead to a less acidic pH is just nonsense. If there is no buffer forthe pH in the distilled water, the pH adaptation with virtually any amount weak acid is going to be instantaneous. No hate, but this interpretation is not chemically correct.

Great video Dr.Vik, would you typically repeat the surgery if nothing improved with your patience.

Hey Vik, hopefully you see this comment, I wanted to know if over-using nasal strips like ''breath right strips and such'' can weaken the nasal valves in any way? I couldn't find any information on it but it seems a bit logical to me that a constant force in that valve area can weaken the nasal valves, I hope that I am wrong, would love if you educate me on that one, thank you <3

Very informative video Vik you are reducing my turbinates on the 1st of July-have my pre-op tomorrow 👍🏻 You said when I last saw you/in letter you may redo my Eustachian Tube Dilation-as still have fullness/ringing in both my ears with popping/crackling when I yawn/swallows o will that be done?? I think I may need a scan of both my ears. Reply when you can thanks 👍

Thank you for new video.

This is Device amazing… Is it possible to order one from the United States?

I've always had ear problems. About 15 years ago, I had both ear drums rupture. The ENT did an inpatient procedure where they inserted tubes after chemically blanching my ear drum. It was nothing short of barbaric. Also, in the process of blanching my ear drum, they hit a nerve so all I could taste for 45 days was this zinc-metallic taste. The tubes they used then messed up and caused me more hearing problems and difficulties that led to another surgical procedure where they sedated me, removed the tubes, and inserted a different kind. My hearing was never the same. Fast forward, I spent the better part of last year in agony with my ears. I had perforated ear drums and drainage. When they did a hearing test, the only way I could hear was with a bone conductivity device. Finally, due to the marked hearing loss, they decided to do a eustacian tube dialation. The entire procedure cost $40k and did nothing to help. Now, they are saying my only option it to get tubes again...which they admit probably won't work. It is so frustrating.

thank you doctor.

Am from the uk and just prescribed olive oil drops

You should get expansion of your palate and Learn proper tongue posture. It will keep your tongue in the roof of your mouth even at night. That’s the correct treatment. My experience as a dentist, treating these patients, is all of these patients have narrow arches and crooked teeth, not leaving space for their tongue, to get a proper suction on the roof of the mouth.

So informative. Thank you!

11:42 wait. yeah lol tinnitus lowkey reminds me of ocd. its like a type of ocd 😂

Thanks, I recognised the sniffing effect. Why are we not told this to start with.

You can reduce 50% of your tinnitus wuth the herb call Ginko. It works for me. Mine one is really loud cos I am rock guitar player

I'm having a cholesteatoma removed soon and I am freaking out 😢

What are the effects of all these things on the eardrum?

Thank you so much Vik. You have totallly reframed this for me and it has provded immense healing.

Thank you for this. Im having no luck with my ENT dept! I need to get BP down. I exercise every day eat healthy not overweight etc then a friend told me it could by my snoring!

Finkelstein technique sounds awesome. In olden times drs would taste the pee of patients, now that’s dedication!

What is removing the bone of the turbinates ??? Mine were out fractured so crushed

Ps it’s awesome you raise the nasal floor for ens patients ! How do you raise the nasal floor??? Absolutely incredible & your inquisitive thinking helps

Ps it’s awesome you raise the nasal floor for ens patients ! Absolutely incredible & your inquisitive thinking helps

I need Mostoid surgery operation please help me I am from Bangladesh,,,😢😢😢😢😢

Always tell nurses ahead of surgery you are good patient but after may need three things , tiny sip of water or ice if mouth is all dry, Vaseline for dry cracked lips, and if you need some joy juice before you go home you will tell them. The car ride and getting home is terrible unless they give you just a tiny bit more of the good stuff. That way you doze in car and once in propped up you will sleep for a few hours. Take pain med before it gets bad.

New research led by the University of Leicester has examined the cellular mechanisms that underlie hearing loss and tinnitus triggered by exposure to loud sound, demonstrating that physical changes in myelin itself -the coating of the auditory nerve carrying sound signals to the brain-affect our ability to hear. It is not ear damage.

It's the same problem in mental health. If you're depressed you're fobbed off with citalopram and 12 weeks of CBT (after a long wait). If that doesn't work, maybe they try some other antidepressants. No attempt to actually work out what's going on and what is the best set of interventions to help you. You have to work all that out on your own, in combination with working with private therapists who actually do proper long-term therapy. Yes it seems cost-effective on the surface, in that you're giving people the cheaper treatments at first before moving onto more expensive interventions. But if you actually could intervene early, work out what's the best thing for people, and then provide that for them, people wouldn't be languishing for decades with supposedly treatment-resistant depression. I can see a lot of value in the evidence based movement, but it's also turned doctors into algorithm followers, and allowed them to dismiss anything that doesn't fit into their boxes.

you are a newb, people in Asia use these all the time w/o issues

I use breathe right but they make my skin itch and can be uncomfortable. Also, they can irritate the skin and leave a sticky gluey residue.

How can we know, if we are a dipper or non-dipper?
