Diseases of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses lead to the development of clinical symptoms, among which difficulty in nasal breathing is among the most common complaints of patients in the practice of otorhinolaryngologists. To prevent the development of synechiae of the nasal cavity in surgery, the following principles are defined: 1) to reduce tissue injury, which is achieved by using modern equipment (endoscopic, laser, radio frequency, etc.); 2) to create a barrier between nearby areas of the nasal mucosa by introducing various intranasal splints; 3) to improve the process of tissue regeneration with the help of medicines (regenerants, reparants, etc.). Currently, there is no single approach to the surgical treatment of synechiae of the nasal cavity. The high frequency of postoperative relapses indicates the need to develop effective methods for the prevention of synechiae of the nasal cavity. The choice of surgical tactics is usually carried out taking into account the localization and extent of synechiae of the nasal cavity. All known methods of surgical treatment, depending on the instruments used for excision of synechiae of the nasal cavity, can be conditionally divided into cold and hot. The Sverzhevsky Research Clinical Institute of Otorhinolaryngology has developed a method of complex treatment and prevention of synechiae of the nasal cavity using laser technologies, silicone splints and a hydrogel material based on sodium alginate with derinate.

Nasal adhesions, or synechiae, commonly occur following surgical procedures, resulting in nasal airway obstruction and patient discomfort. While various packing materials are available to prevent adhesion formation post-surgery, there is limited guidance on effectively dividing existing adhesions and determining the optimal packing materials to maintain separation afterward. We treated a 59-year-old man with severe adhesions in the anterior nasal cavity.

Methods: We conducted a systematic review according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. A literature search was performed on Medline (PubMed), EBSCO CINAHL plus, CENTRAL, and Clinicaltrials.

This study evaluated the effects of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) eustachian tuboplasty on the treatment of chronic otitis media with effusion (COME), and associated complications, in patients with premature extrusion of the tympanostomy tube (TT). Tuboplasty and T-tube reinsertion were performed in 23 ears with COME, a history of premature TT extrusion, and thickened mucus. Tube retention, perforation closure, hearing improvement, and complications were evaluated.

Background: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a condition that affects 5-12% of the general population. Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) is the preferred treatment because of its few adverse effects and highest success rates. The most common post-operative consequences include synechia, nasal blockage, and disease recurrence.
