Transseptal Suture vs Anterior Nasal Packing After Septoplasty

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This randomized comparison examines two techniques used after septoplasty to manage postoperative pain and bleeding in patients aged 18 to 50 with a deviated nasal septum. Participants who are already admitted will be evaluated on the first postoperative day to compare outcomes between the trans-septal suture and anterior nasal packing methods. The study is conducted at Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences in Islamabad, with Ghazal Iftakhar as lead sponsor. Primary outcomes focus on postoperative nasal pain and bleeding, with eligibility limited to adults without prior nasal surgery or confounding conditions such as chronic rhinosinusitis, pregnancy, immunocompromise, or recent steroid/anticoagulant use. This is an interventional trial without a specified phase, comparing two standard post-septoplasty approaches.
