U.S., March 21 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07486544) titled 'Soaked Pharyngeal Packing Agents in Septoplasty' on March 16.
Brief Summary: Postoperative sore throat (POST) is a frequent and distressing complication after general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation, particularly in nasal surgery for example, functional endoscopic sinus surgery, septoplasty, or septo-rhinoplasty, where pharyngeal packing is routine.
