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.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares two types of surgery to fix a crooked nasal septum (the wall inside your nose) that causes ongoing nasal blockage. One surgery only fixes the septum, the other also reduces the size of the turbinates (small structures inside the nose that help filter air). The goal is to see which approach works better for breathing.
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 tests a new nasal packing material called NasoAid to see if it is safe and works well after nasal surgery. If you are having surgery that requires packing in both sides of your nose, you may be able to join.
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 two ways of straightening a crooked nasal septum (the wall inside your nose) to help you breathe better. It tests a newer method against the standard surgical approach.
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.
