title: [Hemostatic effects of Sorbalgon dressing after intranasal endoscopic surgery].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the therapeutic effects of Sorbalgon dressing for hemostasis after intranasal endoscopic surgery.
  
  
  METHODS
  Intranasal endoscopic surgery was performed in 50 patients with bilateral chronic nasosinusitis and nasal polyps, after which the hemostatic effect of Sorbalgon and Vaseline dressings and nasal cavity reaction were observed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Sorbalgon dressing resulted in milder nasal swelling and pain without obvious nasal hemorrhage and mucous membrane reaction, and the average time of nasal recovery was shorter in comparison with Vaseline dressing, which caused severe pain, obvious haemorrhage, and nasal mucous membrane swelling with prolonged nasal recovery. Three months after the operation, similar mucous membrane epithelialization was observed in the nasal cavity managed with the two dressings.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Sorbalgon dressing has good hemostatic effect after intranasal endoscopic surgery.
