Method:
From Jan. 2000 to Apr. 2003., 2013 cases with Sorbalgon strips for nasal packing of nasal chronic sinusitis and polyps after endoscopic sinus surgery, and compared with packing of Aureomycin ointment gauze. The hemostasia effect and nasal cavity response were observed.
Result:
Sorbalgon strips had effectiveness at controlling hemorrhage in ESS. Comparing with aureomycin ointment gauze, Sorbalgon strips had less bleeding when being removed (P < 0.01), and the nasal cavity response was gentle (P < 0.01). The packing time with Sorbalgon strip was no more than 24 hour. No any adverse event was observed.
Conclusion:
