Fingerstall nasal packing offers superior comfort and fewer complications compared to Merocel or medicated gauze packs after septoplasty. Post-operative outcomes and nasal patency remained consistent across all packing types.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Patient Outcomes

Background:

  • Nasal packing is crucial after septoplasty and turbinectomy.
  • Different nasal packing materials may influence patient comfort and complications.
  • Optimizing post-operative care is essential for patient recovery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare patient-reported discomfort and complications associated with three distinct nasal packing types.
  • To evaluate the short-term efficacy and outcomes of different nasal packing methods.
  • To assess the impact of nasal packing on post-operative nasal patency.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective study comparing fingerstall, Merocel, and medicated gauze packs with ventilation tubes.
  • Assessment of patient discomfort, complications, and persistent secretions.

  • Evaluation of nasal patency using peak-flow index and acoustic rhinometry at 3 months post-operation.

    • Main Results:

    • Fingerstall packings resulted in significantly less discomfort and fewer complications.
    • Easier removal and reduced persistent post-operative secretions were noted with fingerstall packs.
    • No significant differences in nasal patency were observed between the groups at 3 months.

    Conclusions:

    • Fingerstall nasal packing is a preferred option due to improved patient comfort and fewer complications.
    • Ventilation tubes in nasal packing did not demonstrate a clear advantage for patients.
    • Surgical technique and patient factors may play a larger role in long-term nasal patency than packing type.
