Nasal Packing Duration and Development of Pharyngitis After Septorhinoplasty Surgery
An observational study of Rhinitis, run by Al-Azhar University at 1 site in Egypt.
Trial summary
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. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Nasal Packing Duration and Its Role in the Development of Pharyngitis After Septorhinoplasty Surgery: A Prospective Observational Study
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.
Read the 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
