Abstract
Treatment of common rhinologic problems with in-office surgical procedures has increased dramatically in response to patient preference, evolving insurance patterns, and changes in coding and reimbursement. Because this is an emerging practice, there is not a lot of evidence published about how to best perform these techniques. This article provides practical advice from experienced surgeons related to logistics and anesthetic techniques for conducting in-office surgical treatment of nasal airway obstruction; an overview of office set-up and necessary equipment; and specific procedural considerations. Attention also is paid to pharmacologic issues. Logistics and clinical considerations for common office-based procedures for obstructive pathology are reviewed.
