    Transnasal microsurgery effectively ligates sphenopalatine artery branches for severe posterior epistaxis. This surgical approach significantly reduces patient morbidity compared to alternative treatments.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Surgical Innovation
    • Vascular Surgery

    Background:

    • Severe posterior epistaxis presents significant clinical challenges.
    • Traditional treatments for posterior epistaxis can involve substantial morbidity.
    • Effective surgical control of posterior epistaxis remains an area of active research.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the efficacy of transnasal microsurgery for severe posterior epistaxis.
    • To evaluate the success rate and morbidity associated with this surgical technique.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of 145 patients treated with transnasal microsurgery.
    • Ligation of sphenopalatine artery branches within the nasal cavity.
    • Assessment of treatment failure rates.

    Main Results:

    • Transnasal microsurgery was performed on 145 patients (27.3% of reviewed cases).
    • The overall failure rate for this procedure was 6.1%.
    • This method demonstrated a lower morbidity profile compared to other epistaxis control methods.

    Conclusions:

    • Transnasal microsurgery is an effective surgical option for severe posterior epistaxis.
    • This technique offers a significant reduction in patient morbidity.
    • Further investigation into minimally invasive surgical techniques for epistaxis is warranted.
