Treatment of nasal polyps
In the treatment of nasal polyps, besides using antibiotics to treat complicated sinusitis, surgical resection is a direct choice to relieve the pain of nasal congestion. Under the supervision of an endoscope with magnifying and proximity effects, doctors can correctly take out polyps. Last year, this undergraduate introduced a new surgical instrument-power-assisted rotary knife. Under high-speed rotation, the blade hidden in the protective sleeve can literally chop up polyps. The advantage of this instrument is that it can reduce the pulling of traditional knife on mucosa, thus reducing the side effects of bleeding and postoperative adhesion. At present, nearly 100 patients have used the instrument, and the effect is good, especially for multiple or recurrent nasal polyps.
Of course, for patients who don't want to have surgery, or before and after surgery, doctors will also prescribe steroid nasal sprays; This can reduce the size of nasal polyps or prevent the recurrence of nasal polyps after operation. Many people are scared when they hear steroids, but according to research, local use of steroids has little effect on the whole body. As long as it is under the supervision of a doctor, there will be no side effects that endanger health. For the therapeutic effect, all doctors have to admit that the recurrence rate of multiple and extensive nasal polyps is very high, whether it is surgical resection or drug treatment. This is a subject that the medical community needs to continue to work hard. For a single nasal polyp, the treatment effect is good.
