Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the effects of locally applied tranexamic acid and adrenaline on blood loss and surgical field quality during functional endoscopic sinus surgery in 40 patients with chronic rhinosinusitis.
- Group I, which used a combination of adrenaline and tranexamic acid, showed reduced blood loss and improved surgical field quality compared to adrenaline alone, while Group II found that adrenaline alone led to quicker surgery and better quality than tranexamic acid.
- Overall, tranexamic acid was less effective than adrenaline for shortening surgery time and enhancing surgeon satisfaction, but the combination of both substances was superior in minimizing blood loss without significantly affecting surgery duration.
Rhinoplasty is one of the most common plastic surgeries and is commonly associated with postoperative edema, ecchymosis, and pain which play a role in patients' dissatisfaction. In this randomized comparative study, we discuss the effect of cannula drainage in the reduction of postoperative periorbital edema, ecchymosis, pain, and nasal obstruction after open structural septorhinoplasty. The study was conducted at a tertiary referral center from April to November 2022.
