Abstract
BACKGROUND Porous high-density polyethylene (pHDPE) is an alternative material for a septal extension graft (SEG) in oriental rhinoplasty when autologous cartilage is limited. Although nasal packing (NP) and trans-septal suturing (TSS) techniques are routine procedures to obviate the dead space after septoplasty, they are associated with certain discomforts and complications. OBJECTIVE To investigate the application of a submucosal trans-septal suturing (STSS) technique after SEG with pHDPE. METHODS A prospective study was conducted on 60 female participants who underwent SEG with pHDPE. The participants were randomly divided into the NP group and STSS group. The extra surgical duration of NP and STSS, pain, nasal obstruction, and sleeping disturbance as well as postoperative complications were recorded and compared between groups. RESULTS No significant difference was found between group NP and group STSS in terms of mean age. The mean extra surgical duration of group STSS was significantly longer than group NP. There were significant higher pains of group NP at 24 hours and 48 hours postoperatively, compared with group STSS. The NP group also experienced significantly more nasal obstruction and sleep disturbance within 48h postoperatively compared to the STSS group. There was one infection in each group, minor bleeding in two NP patients, and one STSS patient. There was no major bleeding, hematoma, graft exposure, or septal perforation in both groups. CONCLUSION Although STSS needs a longer extra surgical duration than NP, it significantly improves the patient's postoperative comfort with a faster return to normal respiration compared to NP.

Majeed SA, Saeed BMN. The Efficacy of Septal Quilting Sutures Versus Nasal Packing in Septoplasty. Indian J Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg 2022; 74:1713-1717. [PMID: 36452783 PMCID: PMC9702136 DOI: 10.1007/s12070-021-02865-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2021] [Accepted: 09/13/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Nasal packing is the classic method adopted by many otolaryngologists to stabilize the nasal septum and decrease the occurrence of postoperative bleeding and septal hematoma after septoplasty. However, because of its associated postoperative morbidity, many surgeons started to adopt alternative methods. This study aimed to assess the outcome and benefits of septal quilting sutures in comparison to nasal packing after septoplasty. A prospective non-randomized comparative interventional study was carried out at two teaching hospitals in Mosul city from January 2020 to January 2021. A total of 60 patients who were candidates for septoplasty, were included in the study. According to the surgeon's preference; 30 patients had placement of septal quilting sutures (group A), and in the other 30 patients nasal packing was performed (group B). Patients were assessed for postoperative morbidity and early outcome in the first 24 h, 1 week and 1 month postoperatively. In the first 24 h after septoplasty, patients in group B had significantly higher levels of nasal/facial pain, headache, sleep disturbance, breathing difficulties and swallowing difficulties compared to group A (p < 0.001). Over the follow up period of 1 month, no significant differences were recorded regarding postoperative bleeding, hematoma, infection, adhesions formation and septal perforation between the two groups (p > 0.05). Septal quilting sutures technique is more favorable in the early period in terms of patient discomfort after septoplasty, better nasal block and nasal/facial pain, the absence of misery on pack removal, with minimal bleeding after surgery.

Consequences of Preoperative Oral Carbohydrate Consumption in Septal Deviation Patients Undergoing Endoscopic Septoplasty: A Retrospective Cohort Study. J Perianesth Nurs 2022; 37:925-933. [PMID: 36096864 DOI: 10.1016/j.jopan.2022.04.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2022] [Revised: 03/27/2022] [Accepted: 04/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Multiple reports have demonstrated the benefits of preoperative oral carbohydrates (CHO) in patients receiving open abdominal, thoracic, and orthopedic surgeries. However, thus far, no reports have investigated the benefits of CHO in patients undergoing nasal endoscopic surgery. Our goal was to evaluate the outcome of preoperative oral of administration of CHO in septal deviation patients, undergoing endoscopic septoplasty, under general anesthesia. DESIGN A retrospective cohort study from a prospectively collected database. METHODS Consecutive 400 septal deviation patients, undergoing endoscopic septoplasty, were randomly assigned to receive CHO or plain water (80 CHO cohort vs. 320 control cohort) before general anesthesia. The primary outcome was the risk of acute postoperative hypertension (APH). The secondary outcomes included length of hospital stay (LOS), hospitalization cost, sleep time the day before surgery, fluid infusion volume on surgical day, as well the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and aspiration. FINDINGS Patients in the CHO cohort experienced a lower risk of both diastolic blood pressure (DBP)-based APH (OR, 0.49; 95% CI, 0.25 to 0.96; P = 0.0375) and total APH (OR, 0.49; 95% CI, 0.26 to 0.92; P = 0.0258), lower LOS, lower hospitalization cost, longer sleep time and less fluid infusion volume after adjusting for gender, age, BMI, preoperative blood pressure and pulse. Besides, data showed no significant differences in the incidence of (P = 0.4173) and aspiration (P > 0.99). CONCLUSIONS Preoperative CHO administration can reduce APH risk in patients undergoing endoscopic septoplasty under general anesthesia. Besides, preoperative CHO administration can improve other clinical outcomes, such as, LOS, hospitalization cost, sleep time, and fluid infusion volume. Moreover, CHO safety was confirmed in our study. In the future, additional investigation is necessary to confirm our results.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To systemically review and compare post-septoplasty complications between total nasal packing and other techniques. METHODOLOGY We searched electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane Library) and additional sources. The most recent search was on November 30th, 2020. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing adverse events after post-septoplasty nasal packing versus other techniques were included. The outcomes were adverse events, including respiratory distress, oxygen desaturation, pain severity, bleeding, hematoma, sleep disturbance, infection, crusting, epiphora, dysphagia, perforation, adhesion, and residual septal deviation. RESULTS There were 47 studies (4,087 participants) in this systematic review. Nasal packing was more likely to cause adverse events than other techniques. There were significant increases in respiratory distress, pain, sleep disturbance, crusting, epiphora, dysphagia, and adhesion. There were no statistically significant differences in oxygen desaturation, bleeding, hematoma, infection, perforation, and residual septal deviation. Subgroup analysis found that trans-septal suture was less likely to cause post-operative complications compared with total nasal packing. CONCLUSION Nasal packing after septoplasty was more likely to cause adverse events, including respiratory distress, pain, sleep disturbance, crusting, epiphora, dysphagia, and adhesion. Furthermore, there were no benefits of nasal packing in preventing bleeding, hematoma, and residual septal deviation when compared with other techniques. Routine nasal packing after septoplasty should be avoided. Trans-septal suture should be considered instead.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nasal septal suturing is a commonly used alternative treatment to nasal packing after septoplasty. Besides alleviating postoperative discomfort, extensive studies have shown that nasal septal suturing is more effective than nasal packing. However, its clinical benefits remain controversial. METHODS We will perform a systematic review of nasal packings effect-related outcome in comparison to nasal septum suture among septoplasty patients by searching 8 databases, based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). All eligible studies will be screened against the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Two independent reviewers will extract the data. Moreover, Review Manage 5.3 will be used for quality assessment and data analysis. Then, the random effects model or fixed effects model will be applied according to the heterogeneity. In conformity with the GRADE criteria, the merits of the evidence and recommended strength will be assessed. RESULTS This protocol will guide subsequent systematic reviews and meta-analyses. The differences in efficacy between nasal septal suturing and nasal packing after septoplasty will be evaluated in terms of efficiency, adverse reaction, comfort degree, and other factors. CONCLUSION This proposed study will explore the possibility of adopting nasal septal suturing as an alternative to nasal packing after septoplasty.
