Comparative study of nasal stents and nasal packing in patients undergoing septoplasty
To investigate the safety and effectiveness of nasal stent in clinical application by comparing and observing the clinical effect and comfort of nasal stent and merocel sponge applied in nasal septoplasty. Methods: patients with nasal septal deviation were selected and randomly divided into nasal stent group (experimental group) and merocel sponge group (control group) according to the packing method. The hemostasis effect, comfort and complications of the two groups were compared during the packing period.

Effective rate of packing
(1) In the period of nasal tamponade and after the removal of the tamponade instrument (48 h ± 1 h after surgery), the nasal bleeding score was ≤ 2 points; (2) 48 h ± 1 h after the completion of nasal tamponade, the overall discomfort score ≤ 7 points; (3) No septal hematoma and nasal adhesions were confirmed by nasal endoscopy at 30 days ± 5 days after the operation. Nasal tamponade is considered effective when the above 3 criteria are met.
Time frame: 2days after operation
visual analog scale(VAS)of comfort
including nasal congestion, nasal pain, headache, itchy nose sneezing, watery tears, runny nose, nasal reflux, facial swelling, difficulty swallowing, sleep disturbance, dry mouth, and general discomfort. The severity of each symptom was graded using the visual analog scale (VAS) of 0 (none) to10 (unbearable)
Time frame: 2days after operation
security
The incidence of complications and adverse events were used as safety evaluation indexes
Time frame: 30days after operation
