OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Juvenile nasal angiogibroma (JNA) is a relatively rare, benign neoplasm generally seen in prepubertal and adolescent males. In the past, surgical management included lateral rhinotomy, transpalatal and transmaxillary routes, and midface degloving approaches. Endoscopic approaches have become the treatment of choice, especially for tumors limited by size and location criter...

Objective Nasal packing is routinely applied after septoplasty. Patients, however, report feeling very uncomfortable while the packing is in place. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of nasal septum suture combined with inferior turbinate coblation to the effects of nasal packing after septoplasty. Methods In this study, 135 patients undergoing septoplasty were divided into 3 gr...

Persisted bleeding from facial fractures after nasal packing or direct pressure is not common, however if it happens, the mortality rate is very high. The study of the treatment for this group of surviving patients was made to find the guideline for management of these patients. From the period of 1 January 1993 to 31 December 2002, 3756 cases of facial fractures were treated at the Trauma Cent...

The present study was carried out to examine whether nasal strip application would improve the exercise-induced arterial hypoxemia and hypercapnia, diminish anaerobic metabolism, and modify the incidence of exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhage (EIPH) in horses. Two sets of experiments, control and nasal strip experiments, were carried out on seven healthy, sound, exercise-trained Thoroughbred ...

The first mention of epistaxis in medical literature dates back in the year 18672. Bleeding originating from the anterior nasal cavity was managed with packing the nostril with pledgets. When the bleeding was originating from the posterior nasal cavity, a pledget secured in a wire was passed down the nostril to tamponade the posterior nasal space and arrest the bleed. In 1901, McKenzie started ...

Objective To study predictors of symptom relief six months after septoplasty using data from the Swedish National Septoplasty Register. Participants This is a retrospective register study of adult patients undergoing septoplasty in Sweden in 2003-2012. Outcome Relief of nasal symptoms was analysed in relation to age, gender, size of hospital performing the surgery, addition of turbinoplasty...

OBJECTIVE To compare Rapid Rhino and Merocel packs for nasal packing after septoplasty, in terms of patient tolerance (both with the pack in place and during removal) and post-operative complications. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty patients (aged 18-40 years) scheduled for septoplasty were included. Following surgery, one nasal cavity was packed with Rapid Rhino and the other one with Merocel. ...

introduction: septal deviation is the chief cause of chronic nasal obstruction. in order to treat such cases, nasal septoplasty surgery is usually performed based on patient complaints and a surgeon's examination, both of which are subjective. this study aims at using the objective parameters of acoustic rhinometry and rhinomanometry to evaluate the effectiveness of septoplasty surgery.   ...
