A Prospective study was performed on 106 patients undergoing routine nasal surgery
to compare the influence of three different packing methods on the final outcome.
Pneumatic balloons were found to cause persistent nasal obstruction and an
Increased incidence of adhesion formation, while lubricated ribbon gauze was more un
comfbrtable for the patient. Glove finger packs were associated with the least problems.
