👉 Pinnacling is a term used in the medical field to describe the process of inserting an artificial or synthetic device into the nasal cavity. This can be done through a surgical procedure called "nasal septoplasty." The insertion of the device, known as a pinna, is necessary for certain conditions such as postoperative bleeding after surgery, nasal blockage due to foreign objects, or when the nasal passage becomes blocked by an infection or tumor.
