Video Summary

The video demonstrates a procedure for reducing an enlarged inferior turbinate using a micro-debrider technique. After injecting lidocaine with epinephrine into the turbinate, a small incision is made at its anterior head. An elevator tool is used to separate the tissue from the bony structure, allowing for the insertion of the micro-debrider. The device cuts and clears erectile and soft tissue from the turbinate. Once the procedure is completed, the turbinate is fully lateralized with a Boise elevator, and endoscopic inspection confirms successful mobilization.
