The degree of inferior turbinate hypertrophy showed no difference between patients with and without AR. Therefore, we suggest that surgical treatment for reducing the size of the inferior turbinate hypertrophy should be considered when performing septoplasty in patients with symptoms of nasal obstruction, regardless of the presence of AR.
