the main issues in nasal surgery are to stabilize the nose in the good position after surgery and preserve the cartilages and bones in the favorable situation and reduce the risk of deviation recurrence. also it is necessary to avoid the synechia formation, nasal valve narrowing, hematoma and bleeding. due to the above mentioned problems and in order to solve and minimize them nasal packing, na...

Anterior nasal packing after septoplasty is commonly employed by most of otorhinolaryngologists for haemostasis and splintage action. However it has complications which are usually manageable but rarely can become fatal particularly in high risk patients. Objectives: Present study was aimed to find out significance of ventilating nasal packing after septoplasty to minimize complications of nasa...

Objective: To assess the complications of postoperative nasal packing among septoplasty patients. Methods: A total of 70 patients were randomized into two groups; 35 patients with nasal packing and 35 patients without nasal packing. Results: Grades of pain expressed by patients in the nasal packing group during the first 24 hours postoperatively and during the removal of the pack were significa...

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate intraocular pressure (IOP) after the application of the nasal packing for sinonasal surgery. Methods: A total of 40 patients who underwent sinonasal surgery were enrolled in this prospective study. Patients were randomly assigned into two groups: gauze packing (group 1) and silicone nasal septal splint (group 2). All participants completed a compre...

Objective Several types of nasal packs are used postoperatively in septoplasty. In this study, we compared two commonly used nasal packing materials, the intranasal septal splint with airway and Merocel tampon, in terms of pain, bleeding, nasal obstruction, eating difficulties, discomfort in sleep, and pain and bleeding during removal of packing in the early period. Methods The study group in...

OBJECTIVE To show the efficacy and comfort of pneumatic bag packing after the endoscopic nasal surgery. Pneumatic bag packing may be recommendable in terms of comfort and efficacy after endoscopic nasal surgery. Significant findings: There were statistical significant differences between the pneumatic bag packing and the expansive sponge packing regarding subjective symptoms and objective findi...

OBJECTIVE To compare the clinical outcomes, including efficacy and complications, of Merocel versus Nasopore as a nasal packing material after nasal surgery.
