Rigid nasal endoscopy with electrocautery effectively treated refractory epistaxis in most patients. This minimally invasive procedure proved to be a safe, cost-effective, and well-tolerated option for managing persistent nosebleeds.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Refractory epistaxis poses a significant clinical challenge.
  • Existing treatments may have limitations in efficacy or patient acceptance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of rigid nasal endoscopy combined with electrocautery for treating refractory epistaxis.
  • To assess the cost-effectiveness and patient acceptability of this intervention.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of six patients with refractory epistaxis underwent rigid nasal endoscopy and electrocautery.
  • Outcomes including treatment success, complications, cost, and patient satisfaction were recorded.

Main Results:

  • The intervention was successful in five out of six patients (83.3% success rate).
