Abstract

A new material, the wax paper enveloping the Fucidin® gauze which is routinely used to pack the nose post-operatively, was utilized in 120 cases considered as ‘high-risk’ for the formation of post-operative nasal adhesions. This proved to be an inexpensive, simple and effective method when the prevention of the formation of nasal adhesions was the primary goal.
