Nasal packing is commonly used to control postoperative bleeding in patients undergoing endonasal surgical procedures. Bleeding and pain on packing removal are frequently reported. The principal objective of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of Algosteril to control
OBJECTIVE
To compare the effects of routine nasal packing with polyvinyl acetal sponge (Merocel) versus no packing, after endoscopic sinus surgery for nasal polyposis.
METHODS
This clinical, randomised, controlled trial was performed in an academic tertiary referral centre between 2008 and 2011.
BACKGROUND
The essential objectives for thyroidectomy are: avoidance of injury to the recurrent laryngeal nerves, conservation of the parathyroid glands, an accurate haemostasis and an excellent cosmesis. In the last 10 years major improvements and new technologies have been proposed and applied in
BACKGROUND
Minor bleeding from small vessels could be a major complication in minimally invasive surgery (MIS). All the devices and techniques commonly used in open surgery to control bleeding or perform blunt dissection may be disappointing in endoscopic surgery.
METHODS
Hydroxylated polyvinyl
BACKGROUND
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of aerosolized fibrin sealant (FS) compared with that of polyvinyl acetal sponge packing on hemostasis and wound healing after functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS).
METHODS
We conducted a prospective randomized controlled trial
Hydroxylated polyvinyl acetal (PVAc) sponges are routinely used for control of bleeding following endoscopic sinus surgery. The physical characteristics of the Meroce sponges and the new Expandacell sponges were evaluated, including pore diameter, sponge size and rate of expansion. The Expandacell
Shiga toxin type 2 (Stx2a) is clinically most closely associated with enterohemorrhagic E. coli O157:H7-mediated hemorrhagic colitis that sometimes progresses to hemolytic-uremic syndrome. The ability to express the toxin has been acquired by other Escherichia coli strains, and outbreaks of food
BACKGROUND
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of endoscopically guided chitosan packing in controlling intractable epistaxis. A prospective case series was performed.
METHODS
This is a prospective clinical study conducted in a tertiary rhinology fellowship
As a therapeutic group, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are among the most widely used, prescribed and over the counter (OTC) medications for the treatment of inflammatory diseases, but suffering from several undesired side effects, the most important being ulcerogenicity, mucosal
