With all due resect ladies and gentlemen of the jury, is this any way to treat the finest team in all of the Foothill League, and perhaps all of the region and maybe even the entire Southern Section? However, according to Donald Leopold, MD, the use of powered instrumentation to submucosally resect portions of the inferior turbinate has become preferable since the development of small, specific microdebrider blades for this purpose (oral communication, September 2005).
