INTRODUCTION: Pathology of the nose and paranasal sinuses currently occupy one of the leading places in the general structure of diseases of the ENT organs. The proportion of patients in this group who are treated in highly specialized departments of the hospital and who undergo surgical interventions in the nasal cavity is more than 65%. OBJECTIVE: To equalize the efficacy and safetyof the preparation Sinupret in combination with standard therapy in patients in the preoperative and postoperative periods with planned surgical interventions in violation of the architectonics of the nasal cavity. MATERIAL AND METHODS: On the clinical basis of the Department of Otorhinolaryngology of the Ural State Medical University of Yekaterinburg, the comparative efficacy and safety of the use of Sinupret in planned surgical interventions in the nasal cavity in patients in preoperative preparation and postoperative management were evaluated. RESULTS: After performing planned surgical interventions in the nasal cavity (septoplasty and submucosal vasotomy with partial resection of the posterior extremities of the lower nasal turbinates), in the observed who in combination with standard conservative therapy received a plant-based remedy, the average score of the total amount of the SNOT-22 test was 20.4, and in patients who, after a similar operation, received only standard conservative treatment, the average score of the total test amount was 20.4, and in patients who after a similar operation received only standard conservative treatment, the average score of the total test amount of the test SNOT-22 corresponded to 28.1, given that the average score of the total amount of the SNOT-22 test before these interventions and the course of therapy was 56.8. The recovery period of nasal breathing was also shortened and the clinical picture improved in patients receiving complex treatment. CONCLUSION: The use of herbal remedies in combination with standard therapy can reduce the time spent in the hospital after planned surgical interventions in the nasal cavity, accelerate the healing and restoration of the nasal mucosa after surgery, and also qualitatively facilitate postoperative care.

[The comparative evaluation of the effectiveness of the treatment of the patients presenting with the sub-compensated form of chronic tonsillitis making use of the antiseptic herbal medicinal product in the combination with the standard conservative therapy: the results of the open randomized study]. / Sravnitel'naia otsenka éffektivnosti lecheniia patsientov s subkompensirovannoi formoi khronicheskogo tonzillita antisepticheskim sredstvom rastitel'nogo proiskhozhdeniia v komplekse so standartnoi konservativnoi terapiei: rezul'taty otkrytogo randomizirovannogo issledovaniia.

The objective of the present study was the comparison of the effectiveness of the application of tonsilgon-N in the combination with the physical methods for sanitization of the palatine tonsil lagunes with that of the standard conservative treatment. A total of 60 patients having the confirmed diagnosis of sub-compensated form of chronic tonsillitis were recruited to participate in the study. All the patients were divided into two groups. Group 1 was comprised of 30 patients to whom tonsilgon-N was prescribed for the oral administration (25 droplets thrice daily for 30 days) in the combination with lagune cleansing with the use of the Tonsillor apparatus during 30 days (a total of 10 procedures). Group 2 consisted of 30 patients to whom only 10 sessions of rinsing the palatine tonsil lagunes were prescribed. The inoculums taken from the tonsils of the patients of group 1 contained no Klebsiella oxytoca, Escherichia coli, Enterobacter cloacae, and Moraxella catarhalis on the 15th day after the initiation of the treatment whereas the presence of the persisting pathogenic bacterial species was documented in 23.3% of the patients of this group. 10% of the patients in group 2 were found to retain Klebsiella oxytoca, Enterobacter cloacae, and Moraxella catarhalis in their tonsils whereas the rate of isolation of the pathogenic biotope amounted to 36,6%.
