Nasal Packing Duration, One-Day Packing, Three-Day Packing, Turbinate Surgery
Conditions
Brief summary
This study aimed to assess the optimum timing for nasal packs removal after turbinate surgery by comparing removal after one day versus removal after three days.
Detailed description
Nasal obstruction is a common symptom that reaches 25% of the population worldwide. The main etiologies for nasal obstruction are septal deviation, hypertrophy of the inferior and middle turbinates, and nasal polyposis. Hypertrophied inferior turbinate surgery techniques include Cauterization, Radiofrequency turbinate reduction, Coblation, Submucosal diathermy, Microdebrider and submucosal resection. Endoscopic Partial inferior turbinectomy addresses both the hypertrophic mucosa and the underlying bone while leaving a normal-sized turbinate behind.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Postoperative bleeding | Six months after surgery | Incidence of postoperative bleeding was recorded. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Improvement in nasal obstruction | Six months after surgery | Improvement in nasal obstruction was assessed using the legalized Arabic version of the Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (Arabic NOSE) scale. The Arabic NOSE scale consists of five items scored on a five-point Likert scale, with total scores extending from 0 to 100; developed scores indicate more severe nasal obstruction. |
| Bleeding during nasal pack removal | Intraoperatively | Incidence of bleeding during nasal pack removal was recorded. |
| Postoperative pain | Six months after surgery | Postoperative pain was judged utilizing the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). VAS is a straight 10-centimeter line where 0 means no pain and 10 means the worst pain. |
