Abstract:
Tonsillectomy is one of the most frequent surgical interventions in otorhinolaryngology. This surgical is always accompanied by the development of reactive inflammatory phenomena and pain syndrome. The effectiveness and safety of tonsillectomy can be improved through the use of topical treatment in the postoperative period, including antiseptics in the form of a spray. An observational study was conducted at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology of the Russian University of Medicine of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, the purpose of which was to evaluate the clinical efficacy, tolerability and safety of Viroxynol for oral and throat mucosa in patients after tonsillectomy. As a result of the analysis of the data obtained, it was found that the use of Viroxynol for the mucous membrane of the oral cavity and throat in the treatment of patients in the early postoperative period causes a pronounced clinical effect, reduces the need for additional medications, allows faster reduction of pain syndrome against the background of relief of reactive inflammatory phenomena, improves the quality of life of patients, accelerates the healing process, reduces the risk of bacterial inflammation. The drug may be recommended for use in patients after tonsillectomy.
