Endoscopic ligation or cauterization of sphenopalatine (SP) and anterior ethmoidal (AE) arteries is an effective treatment for posterior nasal bleeding. This surgical approach significantly reduces hospital stay and associated costs compared to traditional packing methods.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Endoscopic Surgery
  • Vascular Anatomy

Context:

  • Posterior nasal bleeding (epistaxis) often requires invasive treatments.
  • Traditional posterior packing can lead to complications and prolonged hospital stays.
  • Evaluating endoscopic ligation/cauterization of sphenopalatine (SP) and anterior ethmoidal (AE) arteries offers an alternative approach.

Purpose:

  • To assess the practical and financial benefits of endoscopic SP and AE artery ligation/cauterization for posterior nasal bleeding.
  • To compare outcomes between traditional packing and a substitutive surgical protocol.
  • To determine the efficacy and safety of endoscopic arterial ligation/cauterization.

Summary:

  • A prospective study included 35 patients with posterior nasal bleeding treated between 2004-2006.

  • Endoscopic ligation/cauterization of SP and AE arteries was performed, with SP ligation in 80% of cases.
  • The surgical protocol, especially when not using posterior packing, resulted in a mean reduction of 3.1 hospital days and savings of 939.3 euros per patient.

    • Impact:

    • Endoscopic arterial ligation/cauterization demonstrated 91.2% effectiveness in controlling epistaxis.
    • The procedure significantly reduces hospital stay and avoids complications associated with posterior packing.
    • Precise anatomical knowledge of SP and AE arteries is crucial for successful surgical outcomes.
