How long after septum surgery to remove gauze

After septal surgery, the nasal cavity needs to be filled with gauze to play the role of compression to stop bleeding and prevent adhesions. 48-72 hours after surgery, the gauze can be removed from the patient’s nasal cavity to observe whether the patient’s nasal cavity continues to bleed. If the patient is particularly prone to bleeding during the surgery, or if the local nasal septum mucosa has obvious rupture, it can be filled and compressed for 1 more day at this time, which can effectively promote the healing of the patient’s nasal mucosa. After the surgery, the patient needs to consolidate the treatment with antibiotics and hemostatic drugs. 2 weeks or so, the patient’s symptoms in the nasal cavity should be significantly improved. After discharge from the hospital, the patient needs to return to the hospital for regular review, and at the same time needs to exercise properly to strengthen the resistance ability.
