[Septal stents--a perspective tamponadeless management of patients after septoplasty].

The article deals with pathophysiology of disturbed nasal breathing, tools of surgical correction of deviated nasal septum, features of the course of wound process. Clinical efficacy of stent fixation of the septum and conventional elastic tamponade was compared in 38 patients who had undergone septoplasty and submucous radiowave disintegration of the lower nasal turbinate bones for deviation of the nasal septum and a neurovegetative form of chronic vasomotor rhinitis. Higher efficacy of intranasal stenting is shown. Tamponadeless management of the patients after surgical interevention on the nasal septum is demonstrated.
