Official title
Nasal Packing Duration and Its Role in the Development of Pharyngitis After Septorhinoplasty Surgery: A Prospective Observational Study
Overview
Septoplasty or septal reconstruction is a corrective surgical procedure performed to straighten the nasal septum. It may be associated with numerous complications. To minimize these complications, both nasal cavities are frequently packed with different types of nasal packing. In our study we will try to find relationship between duration of nasal packing and postrhinoplasty sore throat and pharyngitis.
Detailed description
Nasal packing affects swallowing by different mechanisms. It may affect swallowing as a result of nasal congestion, constant mouth breathing, throat dryness and pharyngitis.
Postoperative sore throat causes patient dissatisfaction and poor pain control. Several interventions could be performed to reduce sore throat and pharyngitis and increase patient satisfaction , which may not be convenient for all patients, such as gargling or sprays
Primary outcome measures
- Sore throat [Time frame: 48 hours postoperatively]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
- Dysphagia [Time frame: 48 hours postoperatively]
- Throat irritation [Time frame: 48 hours postoperatively]
