Abstract
AbstractA random prospective study of 180 patients with chronic nasal obstruction who underwent inferior turbinate resection as a part of a multinasal surgical procedure is presented. The aim of our study was to examine the influence of nasal pack on the incidence of post-operative haemorrhage following inferior turbinate resection.The haemorrhage rate in Group 1 (no nasal pack), Group 2 (nasal pack retained for 24 hours) and Group 3 (nasal pack retained for 48 hours) was 11.7, 8.3 and 0 per cent respectively.We recommend that a nasal pack should be retained for 48 hours following inferior turbinate resection.
