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. In our study we will try to find relationship between duration of nasal packing and postrhinoplasty sore throat and pharyngitis.

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
