Rehabilitation of rhinosurgical patients using physiotherapeutic methods of exposure

Pustovit Olga Mikhailovna

The study included 120 patients with curvature of the nasal septum and vasomotor rhinitis, who simultaneously performed septoplasty and submucosal vasotomy of the lower nasal concha. In order to increase the efficiency of reparative processes of the nasal mucosa in this group of patients, along with standard postoperative therapy, cavitated low-frequency ultrasound and photochromotherapy were used. Assessment of the condition of the nasal mucosa was performed on the 2nd, 14th, and 21st days after surgery using endoscopic examination, determination of the transport, excretory, and absorption functions of the nasal mucosa, cytological examination, as well as the results of anterior active rhinomanometry. The best result was obtained in patients who underwent both an ultrasound session and photochromotherapy in the postoperative period.
