Risk factors leading to the formation of intranasal synechiae (adhesions) in patients who underwent septo- and septoturbinoplasty (a retrospective cohort Study)

The use of nasal septal separators and tampons significantly reduces the risk of iatrogenic intranasal synechiae following septoplasty or septoconchoplasty, regardless of the degree of nasal septum deviation. Conversely, the use of seton gauze dressings is associated with a higher risk of developing synechiae.
