Effectiveness of a modified endonasal splint in the prevention of pathogenic microflora after septoplasty: a comparative microbiological research study

The use of endonasal splints in septoplasty has been extensively discussed in the literature in recent years. There are different types of splints, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. The results of surgery can vary considerably depending on the type of splint chosen and the methods of its application. This article discusses the effectiveness of a modified endonasal splint in preventing pathogenic microflora in the postoperative period, as well as possible complications. Septoplasty is a common operation aimed at correction of nasal septal deformity. However, in the early postoperative period, patients face the risk of synechiae development, accumulation of blood and secretion in the nasal cavity, which creates favorable conditions for the growth of pathogenic microflora. Traditional nasal splints limit the natural drainage of the nasal cavity, contributing to stagnation of secretions. A modified endonasal splint with a central removable airway was developed to improve nasal hygiene by simplifying cleaning and reducing exudate accumulation. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of this splint on the dynamics of nasal cavity microflora in comparison with the traditional analogue.
