Peri-operative measures to prevent middle turbinate lateralisation and adhesion formation in endoscopic sinus surgery—a systematic review of the literature
“…For reducing the adhesions formation, several measures have been attempted [10], they had limited success with undesirable side effects for some. Bolgerisation or middle turbinate conchopexy were found to reduce the incidence of adhesions but iatrogenic hyposmia is a potential concern raised.…”
Objective: This Study aimed to assess the efficacy of topical application of Mitomycin C as two doses, intraoperative and 3 weeks later, in the prevention of adhesions formation after functional endoscopic sinus surgery.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
