[Topical herbal preparations based on essential oils in the postoperative period after FESS].

The postoperative period after endoscopic surgery of the paranasal sinuses (functional endoscopic sinus surgery - FESS) requires a comprehensive approach to the regeneration of the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. In conditions of surgical trauma, there is damage to the epithelium, disruption of mucociliary clearance, activation of cascades of inflammatory reactions and microbial colonization. Natural topical preparations based on essential oils, containing components with antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and reparative action, occupy an important place in adjuvant therapy.
