Objective:
To explore the method and the feasibility of reducing bleeding procedure(RBP) during endoscopic sinus surgery.
Method:
The focuses and tissue being removed in nasal cavity were coagulated by bipolar radiofrequency in order to reduce bleeding during operation in 53 patients with nasal disease. The bleeding places were coagulated in the same way after operation.
Result:
The nasal cavities without stuffed qauze to control bleeding after operation was in 37 cases (69.8%) of 53 patients operated. The average volume of bleeding during the surgery was 39.67 ml in 37 patients with chronic sinusitis and nasl polyp.
Conclusion:
The RBP during endoscopic sinus surgery is well worth researching and discussing further.
