Abstract

Background: Septoplasty is one of the most frequent surgical operations done in the area of otolaryngology. The purpose of this research was to examine the nasal function effects of various kinds of nasal packs after nasal surgery. Methods: Our research comprised 60 patients with general anaesthesia endonasal septoplasty. Group A: (20 patients) use Merocel, group B: (20 patients)use Merocel in glove-finger, group C: (20 patients)use of vaseline gauze, olfactory functions, mucociliary clearance and pre- and post-operative function of the Eustachian tube. Results: In 25, 15 and 15% of patients prior to surgery, impaired tympanometry was observed. This frequency reduced after two weeks to 10, 5 and 10 percent, followed by one month to 5, 0 and 5 percent. There was no significant difference between groups at all these periods (p > 0.05). There was no significant difference between the three groups in post-operative VAS score (p>0.05). However, a substantial difference in package removal was observed (p < 0.001). The mean VAS was 4.35, 2.65 and 2.35 among patients in groups A, B and C correspondingly. The total number of complications across the three groups was not statistically different (p > 0.05). There were no significant differences between the three groups in patient satisfaction (p = 1.0). Conclusion: There was no significant difference in postoperative complication, saccharine testing, impaired tympanometry, patient satisfaction among the three kinds of nasal packing. The pain levels were greatest for Merocel and lowest with vaseline gauge during the removal of the nasal packings.
