| description | Objective: To assess the degree of satisfaction of pacients submitted the septoplasty with and without the use of nasal buffer and assess the most common complications pursuant to the use of tampons or not after nasal septoplasty. Method: Randomized prospective clinical method compared between patients with and without nasal buffer. The authors observed 152 patients operated on septoplasty in Hospital Angelina Caron. They were assessed for degree of satisfaction in the first 72 hours and after 7 days; and the major complications in intervals of 72 hours and after 7 days. Results: The group without nasal buffer assessed the post-operative as offering good quality, only 2 patients evaluated it as a bad recovery. For the group using nasal buffer the recovery was not well tolerated by more than a half of the patients and the reason for not undergoing a new surgery was the nose buffer, followed by the fear of undergoing anesthesia. Patients who did not use buffer also had fewer cases of complications such as bleeding, abscesses, infection, pain/respiratory complaints and synechia/crusts in the immediate postoperative period, after 72 hours and after 7 days. Conclusion: Although septoplasty with nasal buffer is very widespread in the surgical middle, It does not provide the patient satisfaction. As most surgeons now propose holding of surgery with general or local anesthesia, they should also assess the technique to be employed and inform the patient about the possibility of conducting the surgery with and without nasal buffer. |
