INTRODUCTION: Bioabsorbable packs, which are frequently used after nasal surgery, have been recently deemed more comfortable than removable packs. If these packs cause lower levels of eustachian dysfunction than silicone nasal splint with integral airway, they would be a good alternative for nasal packing after septoplasty.
OBJECTIVE: To compare the effects of chitosan-based biodegradable nasal packs and silicone nasal septal splints with integral airway on the ventilation and pressure of the middle ear after septoplasty in patients with normal otoscopic examination.
METHODS: Patients who underwent septoplasty for nasal septal deviation with otoscopically-normal tympanic membranes and bilateral, normal type-A preoperative tympanograms were included. Following surgery, the patients were randomized into two groups (group P: chitosan-based biodegradable nasal packs; group S: silicone nasal septal splint).
RESULTS: The tympanometric pressures of all patients in both groups decreased, but more so in group S in the first 24 hours following surgery. These pressure differences between the 2 groups in the first 48 hours following surgery were statistically significant.
CONCLUSION: The present study demonstrated that chitosan-based biodegradable nasal packs would be a good alternative for nasal packing after septoplasty.
