Abstract

Objective: To compare the effects of chemical cauterization (silver nitrate) and bipolar electrocauterization in the treatment of epistaxis. Materials and Methods: Patients aged 8 to 16 years who had unilateral recurrent active mucosal bleeding at the anterior area of the septum despite of medical treatment, were enrolled. Patients with systemic drug use, bleeding diathesis, and recent exposition to trauma were excluded from the study. Patients were divided into two groups, Group 1 was treated by chemical cauterization (n=55), Group 2 was treated by bipolar electro-cauterization (n=60). After treatment, recurrent bleeding in the groups and recovery times in the nasal mucosa were assessed. Results: Of the 115 patients studied, 55 were in Group 1 and 60 were in Group 2. The mean recovery time of the patients in Group 1 was 7.16±1.72 days, while in Group 2, this time was 8.31±1.76 days (P0.05). Conclusion: While there was no difference between the application of silver nitrate and bipolar electrocautery in terms of efficacy on hemorrhage in epistaxis, the recovery of nasal mucosa was faster after the treatment by silver nitrate cautery.

Özet

Amaç: Epistaksisin tedavisinde kullanılan kimyasal (gümüş nitrat) koterizasyon ile bipolarelektrokoterizasyonun etkilerini karşılaştırmaktır.Gereç ve Yöntem: Yaşları 8 ile 16 arasında değişen, tek taraflı, medikal tedaviye rağmentekrarlayan, anterior septal bölgede aktif mukozal kanaması olan hastalar çalışmaya alındı.Sistemik ilaç kullanan, kanama diatezi olan, yakın zamanda travmaya maruz kalan hastalarçalışmaya alınmadı. Hastalar iki gruba ayrılarak Grup 1’e (n=55) gümüş nitrat ile koterizasyon,Grup 2’ye (n=60) bipolar elektrokoterizasyon yapılanlar alındı. Tedavi sonrası gruplardaki yineleyenkanamalar ve burun mukozasındaki iyileşme süreleri değerlendirildi.Bulgular: Çalışmaya alınan 115 hastanın 55’i Grup 1, 60’ı Grup 2’de bulunmaktaydı. Grup 1 ‘deolan hastaların ortalama iyileşme süresi 7.16±1.72 gün iken, Grup 2’de bu süre 8.31±1.76 gündü(P0.05).Sonuç: Gümüş nitrat ve bipolar elektrokoter ile yapılan epistaksis müdahalelerinin kanama üzerineetkinliği açısından fark gözlenmezken, gümüş nitrat koterizasyonu sonrası burun mukozasındakiiyileşme daha hızlı olmaktadır.
