Rehabilitation of patients after septoplasty

Background. In recent years, in the general structure of the incidence of ENT organs diseases, the pathology of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses has firmly ranked first both in terms of visits to the clinic and in the group of patients undergoing inpatient treatment, which indicates a trend in an increase in the incidence rate. Septoplasty is one of the most commonly performed rhinological surgeries.

Aim: to analyze the effectiveness of complex treatment on the state of cerebral hemodynamics in patients with septal deviation after septoplasty.

Methods. Rehabilitation of patients was performed in several stages. Preoperative preparation included low-intensity laser exposure along with drug therapy. In this study, in order to prevent complications and activate reparative processes, patients of the main group (n=40) received additional bipolar-pulse irritative current therapy, while the control group patients (n=10) received only standard drug therapy.

Results. Patients of the main group showed an increase in treatment efficiency, a significant improvement in the clinical condition and indicators of cerebral hemodynamics compared with the control group.

Conclusion. To prevent complications and activate reparative processes in modern rehabilitation, it is necessary to integrate therapeutic measures, which can include, in addition to surgical methods, drug therapy (anti-inflammatory drugs, antihistamines, anticholinergics, etc., as well as physical factors (medicinal electrophoresis, ultraphonophoresis, laser therapy, magnetotherapy, etc.).
