It’s important for patients to be aware of this after nasal endoscopic surgery: don’t forget to review!

Is it important to review after endonasal endoscopy? Nasal diseases do not recover immediately after a single endonasal surgery, and it takes about six months for the nasal mucosa to recover from the surgery, so it is important to have a postoperative review after endonasal endoscopy. Why review is necessary Surgery is only half of the success of the treatment, the other half depends on the postoperative review and the necessary treatment and medication support. Immediately after the surgery, the recovery phase of epithelial regeneration begins. During this period, granules, vesicles, scabs, and adhesions may form in the nasal cavity, and if left untreated and blocking the sinus openings, sinusitis may recur quickly. In addition, adherence to nasal medication and medication is also an effective means of avoiding postoperative complications and recurrence. Clinical experience has shown that the quality of postoperative management is directly related to the outcome of nasal endoscopic surgery. Failure to conduct regular review after surgery or via inappropriate treatment can often lead to new lesions and recurrences in the nasal cavity that are more difficult to manage. Therefore, it is important for patients to follow the doctor’s instructions for regular checkups and regular medication to consolidate the effect of the surgery and cure the disease completely. Nasal disease is not completely cured after the completion of surgery, the recovery of the nasal mucosa after surgery usually takes about half a year. During this period of time, the nasal mucosa will experience common phenomena such as edema, vesicles, and granulation, which will continue to interfere with the recovery of the nasal mucosa in the operative cavity. The doctor will clean up the lesion tissues such as cysts and granulation in time during the regular post-operative review, and at the same time will instruct the patient to take medication according to the review situation in order to promote the recovery of the nasal mucosa, and when the nasal mucosa is completely restored to normal, the possibility of recurrence of rhinopathy will be greatly reduced. From the pathogenesis of sinusitis as well as the need for surgical recovery, postoperative review and medication are quite important, you must come for review according to the appointment time, and get in touch with your doctor in time for symptom changes and adjustment of the treatment program. It is necessary to ensure the effectiveness of the surgery. Post-operative medication Post-operative medication is very important, the main purpose of the surgery is for the medication to work better. Post-operative medication mainly includes antibiotics, nasal hormones, mucus-thinning medication, and proprietary Chinese medicines, etc., which are similar to the pre-operative period, but because the surgery removes the lesions and opens up the sinuses, the medication is more likely to work. Nasal rinsing Nasal rinsing with saline is theorized to improve the oscillation of mucus cilia, moisten the mucous membranes, and rinse away harmful substances. Postoperative nasal rinsing can be started in the second or third day after surgery, saline is the most commonly used, but also the most effective and safest rinsing solution, at present there are already a lot of commoditized rinsing salts, with special devices and equipment for everyone to choose to use, it is very convenient to use; Reasonable use of nasal hormones, do not be afraid of hormones Nasal hormones are considered to be one of the highest level of evidence-based medical recommendations, the most effective method, a large number of studies have suggested that nasal hormones are the most effective method. The use of nasal hormones is considered to be one of the most highly recommended and effective methods of evidence-based medicine, and a large number of studies have suggested that nasal hormones can reduce the signs and symptoms of patients, and the side effects of hormones rarely occur. In conclusion, post-surgical follow-up is one of the most important aspects of treatment, and we hope that patients and friends will pay attention to it.
