The usage of continuous suction through catheter in the surgery of endoscopic correction of nasal septum without nasal packing / 中国基层医药

ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo explore the feasibility of non-nasal packing after correction of nasal septum. Methods53 cases of simple deviation of nasal septum were underwent endoscopic correction of nasal septum.The continuous suction in surgical cavity through catheter without nasal packing after surgery was applied to 46 cases with intact double-mucosa or little wound that could be sutured in front of nasal septum. ResultsOf the 46 patients,the volume of the bleeding 3 days after the operation were(8.1 ± 5.6)ml.The degree of the nasal mucosa edema in 33 patients were lightened than others,the space between the inferior nasal concha and the nasal septum were fine as well as the ventilation of the nasal cavity.Among those cases,there were 13 patients with severe nasal mucosa edema(5 cases were allergic rhinitis)which were treated with ephedrine and furaciline solution or glucocorticoid,as the results,the nasal mucosa shrinked,and the patients could respire well.The catheter were extracted 3 days after the operation until the primary healing.All the cases were healing well without the the nasal septum hematoma and other complications which were follow up more than half a year. ConclusionThe method of continuous suction in surgical cavity through catheter without nasal packing was feasible if double nasal septum mucosa was intact after correction of nasal septum.
