Application of expanded sponge and sodium hyaluronate in dacryocystorhinostomy under nasal endoscope

Abstract

AIM: To investigate the application of expanded sponge and sodium hyaluronate in dacryocystorhinostomy under nasal endoscope.METHODS: Through the follow-up observations of the 184 eyes(153 cases)that underwent dacryocystorhinostomy under nasal endoscope in our hospital in the past 2a(2016-2018)(group A: intraoperative application of expanded sponge and sodium hyaluronate), and the comparison in efficacy of 160 eyes(138 cases)that underwent dacryocystorhinostomy under nasal endoscope in our hospital in the past 2a(group B: intraoperative lacrimal duct stent).RESULTS:The statistics analyzed from the patency of lacrimal passage and the improvements of the lacrimation six months after surgery are as follows: the total effective rate was 90.2% in group A, which amounts to 166 eyes; and 82.5% in group B, which amounts to 132 eyes. The difference between the two was statistically significant(PPCONCLUSION: The application of expanded sponge and sodium hyaluronate in the application of intranasal dacryocystorhinostomy can significantly improve the surgical effect and reduce complications.
