title: [The use of synthetic foam postnasal packing (author's transl)].
abstract: For about a year postnasal space packing made of synthetic foam has been used. This fits the contours of the epipharynx, causes no mucosal damage and is better tolerated by the patient than the traditional packing. In 50 cases of postadenoidectomy bleeding, uncontrolled epistaxes and bleeding from epipharyngeal tumours we have been convinced of the usefulness of this synthetic foam.
