简要总结
There were no significant differences in postoperative complications (infections, wound healing disorders, synechiae, bleeding, septal hematomas, abscesses, perforations). Incrustations were 2.1 times more frequent in the experimental group than in the control group (p = 0.051) and septal hematomas were observed exclusively with longer wearing time (p = 0.05). For all functional measurements and questionnaire scores, no significant discrepancies between the two groups K4 and E8 could be detected in the prospective comparison. Only in the comparison of the total collective from pre- to postoperative a significant improvement (p < 0.001) could be observed for the NOSE and SNOT score and acoustic rhinometry. CONCLUSION: Leaving the foils in place longer had no significant effect on patient satisfaction or objectively measurable postoperative outcomes. Earlier removal of the foils during the inpatient course could reduce the number of necessary physician contacts and relieve the medical staff.
