[Modern views of rehabilitation after septoplasty]

After septoplasty procedure and removing of nasal packing, numerous symptoms usually appear that result from inflammation.

To evaluate the effect of nasal spray Polydexa with phenylephrine on the postoperative period and bacterial contamination in the nasal cavity after septoplasty and inferior turbinectomy.

There were 40 people observed, who underwent septoplasty and inferior turbinectomy followed by nasal packing.

After removing the tampons from the nasal cavity, the growth of coagulase-negative staphylococci was most often observed in 50%, Enterococcus faecalis - 22.5%, Staphylococcus aureus - 20.0%. In patients who received intranasally Polydexa with phenylephrine drug in the postoperative period, we observed decrease in inflammation in the nasal cavity, an improvement in the quality of life, as well as a significant (p<0.05) decrease in bacterial growth (both in the presence of flora and in intensity growth of microorganisms). The absence of intranasal antibacterial drugs in the scheme of postoperative management of patients contributes to the growth of pathogenic flora, in particular S. aureus.
