[Observation on the effect of curettement-adhesive on submucous resection of nasal septum].
OBJECTIVE
To explore a method of how to handle the wound in submucous resection of nasal septum (SMR) so as to improve the effect of the operation.


METHODS
83 cases with deviation of nasal septum underwent the operation of submucous resection of nasal septum. Then they were divided into two groups at random. One group as curettement-adhesive group (42 cases) were treated by biological adhesive solvent (BAS) to the wound after submucous resection of nasal septum without a tamping to the nasal cavity. The other group as control group (41 cases) was treated by Vaseline gauze packing. Then the postoperative reactions and effect in each group were compared according to the degree of headache, hyperaemia of nasal mucosa and edema of nasal mucosa.


RESULTS
There were a distinct difference of the degree of headache, hyperaemia of nasal mucosa and effect in curettement-adhesive solvent group to the other group.


CONCLUSIONS
The use of BAS in SMR can simplify the operation and shorten the rehabilitation time. It can relieve the postoperative reaction and reduce syndromes. So it is worth researching.
