Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study[Perioperative pain and anxiety in endoscopic sinus surgery].
Aim of this study was to evaluate the perioperative level of pain and anxiety for endoscopic sinus surgery, and to compare 3 different types of nasal packing. ⋯ Female patients, who gathered information about the operation from friends or relatives or patient in worse preoperative mood are at risk for increased state anxiety and should be identified prior to rhinosurgical procedures. Use of nasal packing with at least partially preserved nasal breathing is recommended in clinically anxious patients.
