[Septoplasty without postoperative nasal packing. Mucosal repair of the upper airway with human biologica glue (author's transl)].
With the use of human biological adhesives in nasal septal surgery with or without extensive dissection, nasal packing can be avoided or at least its use essentially shortened. As a result, nasal breathing is not interrupted and mucociliary clearance resumes at an earlier stage of healing. In addition, infections of the sinsuses or the deep airway are prevented. The provisional high costs of the adhesive can be justified by the lessened patient morbidity. Similar favorable experiences with the adhesive were also found in various other reconstructive procedures of the head and neck, including tympanoplasty, aural atresia, skin transplantation, etc.
