Prospective observational study demonstrates throat pack efficacy in reducing sore throat after nasal surgeries, suggesting clinical adoption.
POST was observed in both the throat pack and the no throat pack groups. Considering the potential risk of blood and saline aspiration during nasal surgeries, the use of a throat pack may be advocated as a protective measure in all nasal procedures. Careful insertion, appropriate sizing, and timely removal of the throat pack are essential to minimize pharyngeal mucosal trauma while ensuring patient safety.
