Our experience of septoplasty with resorbable nasal dressing
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of ENT - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 3
Abstract
Background: Septoplasty is one of the most performed interventions in otorhinolaryngology; the main cause of discomfort for patients is the nasal dressing and the pain associated with its removal. Material and method: We performed 70 septoplasty operations in the period from 1 January 2018 to 21 November 2018.Results: Spongostan® swabs were generally removed by the patient with postoperative washes and sprays an blowing the nose. In some cases the Spongostan residues were removed by aspiration to the first control seven days after the operation. There were no postoperative bleedings, there were no cases of septal sinechisms or perforations and the patient's gradation was very high, especially considering that no postoperative painful maneuver was necessary. Conclusions: In our experience it turns out to be a valid alternative to all the other types of nasal pads used so far.
