Description

Electrode assembly for ablation of postnasal nerve
Technical Field
The utility model relates to the technical field of medical instruments, in particular to an electrode assembly for ablation of a postnasal nerve.
Background
Traditional treatments for chronic rhinitis include the use of topical intranasal steroids, antihistamines and anticholinergic nasal sprays, etc. The symptoms difficult to treat by drug treatment need to be treated by surgery, and the modes of surgery mainly comprise two types: inferior turbinate angioplasty, nasal septum orthotics, and post-nasal nerve block surgery, which aim to improve nasal ventilation function, and to reduce nasal mucosa hyperreactivity.
In nerve blocking operation, the only parasympathetic nerve fibers secreted by the lacrimal gland can be cut off during operation, so that the postoperative eye stem symptoms are obvious, the pterygoid canal position is hidden, the operation difficulty is high, the complications are more, and the long-term curative effect is not definite. Clinical studies have found that microvascular components substantially maintain preoperative levels after post-nasal nerve block, but glands in nasal mucosa shrink substantially, and inflammatory response cells such as neutrophils and lymphocytes bleed less during allergic reactions. In addition, since the postnasal nerve does not contain autonomic nerve fibers that innervate lacrimal glands, adverse reactions such as tear reduction and dry eye caused by pterygoid nerve cutting after the postnasal nerve blockage do not occur, and the complications of reduction of the main clinical symptoms of allergic rhinitis can be permanently alleviated. However, the operation still has the problems of large operation wound, long recovery time of patients, more bleeding in the operation, great operation difficulty, difficult mastery of clinicians and the like.
