Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Context:

  • Severe nasal bleeding (epistaxis) often requires anterior and posterior nasal packing.
  • Nasal packing can lead to complications such as infection, discomfort, and re-bleeding upon removal.

Purpose:

  • To present an alternative treatment for severe nasal bleeding using endoscopic monopolar coagulation.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of this technique in avoiding nasal packing.

Summary:

  • This study introduces monopolar coagulation under endoscopic control as an alternative to nasal packing for severe epistaxis.
  • This endoscopic approach bypasses the need for traditional anterior and posterior nasal packing, mitigating associated risks.

Impact:

  • Offers a potentially less invasive and more comfortable treatment option for severe nasal bleeding.
  • May reduce the incidence of complications related to nasal packing, such as secondary hemorrhage and infection.
