Nasal stitch versus packing after nose surgery
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to stop bleeding after nasal surgery (septoplasty): using a special stitch inside the nose versus using nasal packing. It aims to see which method is more comfortable and effective for patients like you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a deviated nasal septum (a crooked inside of the nose) that causes symptoms like a blocked nose.
- You are between 18 and 50 years old.
- You have not had nasal surgery before.

This trial compares septoplasty alone to septoplasty plus inferior turbinate reduction for people with a crooked nasal septum that causes ongoing nasal blockage. It aims to see which approach gives better breathing improvement.
This trial tests different methods to reduce complications after septoplasty, a surgery to fix a crooked nasal septum. It may help if you have a deviated septum that causes symptoms like trouble breathing.
This study compares how long nasal packing stays in place after septorhinoplasty surgery and whether it affects sore throat. It may help doctors choose the best packing duration to reduce discomfort.
This study compares a newer, less invasive type of nose surgery (disarticulation septoplasty) to the traditional open approach for fixing a crooked nasal septum that causes breathing problems. It wants to see which method works better.
This study tests a special nose dressing that slowly releases a steroid to reduce inflammation and improve healing after sinus surgery for chronic sinusitis with or without nasal polyps.
This trial is testing whether packing the nose with one of three medications (dexmedetomidine, midazolam, or bupivacaine) during functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) can improve the surgeon's view during the procedure. It may help patients by reducing bleeding and making the surgery smoother.
