Objective:
To study the safety and feasibility after functional Endoscopic surgery(FESS), without no nasal packing in 74 patients,compare these patients with 20 packing patients, and discuss the possibility and indication of avoiding packing.
Method:
No nasal packing after FESS in 74 patients, the measures had been taken to reduce postoperative bleeding including appropriate case-chosen, medical administration before and after operation, alleviation of trauma in operation, and meticulous sinus clearance to prevent synechia.
Result:
The postoperative blood loss were less than 50 ml. No bleeding complication happened out of the 74 no-packing patients, the blood exudation ceased timely after FESS.
Conclusion:
The nasal packing could be avoided in the majority of FESS through proper management. This choice will reduce the discomfort and the cost of the patients who have to receive FESS procedure, and increase their compliance.
