• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2020-08-11
• Target enrollment: 0

Summary

Intranasal irrigation with normal saline is routinely used in sinus surgery to clean the tip of the nasal endoscope and clear the surgical field from blood. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the difference in the surgical visualization, surgeon satisfaction and total blood loss when intraoperative irrigation was performed with a solution of normal saline with adrenaline as compared to irrigation with normal saline alone in FESS.
