Study Design:
Prospective randomized single blinded clinical study
Method:
The study comprised of 80 patients divided in 4 groups each of 20 patients who underwent monopolar cautery, Bipolar cautery, high frequency monopolar and bipolar intra-turbinate cautery. Patients were evaluated on the 7th post operative day and 1 year after the surgery & saccharine transit time test also performed and compared.
