Summary
Sorbalgon provides effective hemostasis for nasal cavity packing after functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). It resulted in minimal patient discomfort and gentle nasal mucosa response, making it a satisfactory choice.
Area of Science:
- Otolaryngology
- Surgical Materials Science
Context:
- Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) requires effective hemostasis.
- Nasal packing is crucial for post-operative recovery and preventing complications.
Purpose:
- To evaluate the efficacy of Sorbalgon as a nasal packing material compared to traditional vaseline gauze strips.
- To assess the hemostatic performance and patient response to Sorbalgon after FESS.
Summary:
- Sorbalgon demonstrated excellent hemostasis in nasal packing during FESS.
- Patients experienced only mild headache and nasal pain with Sorbalgon.
- Minimal bleeding occurred upon removal, and nasal mucosa showed a gentle response.
Impact:
- Sorbalgon is a suitable and effective material for nasal packing in sinus surgeries.
- This finding can guide the selection of optimal hemostatic agents in FESS.
- Improved patient outcomes through better hemostasis and reduced discomfort.
