[Combined method of treatment of synechiae of the nasal cavity]. / Kombinirovannaya metodika lecheniya sinekhii polosti nosa.

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.
