Application Of Honey And Sesame Oil Therapy After Endoscopic Sinus Surgery

Objective: To accelerate the process of complete epithelization of the ethmoidal sinuscavity wound through dripping and local application of honey and sesame oil afterEndoscopic Sinus Surgery .Methods: Group I: 40 chronic nasosinusitis and nasal polyps patients' ethmoidal sinuscavities were packed with gelatin sponge soaked with honey and sesame oil four daysafter surgery. The same mixed suspending liquid was used in dripping the nose twodrops each time for three times a day. Group II: 40 chronic nasosinusitis nasal polypspatients were not given the honey and sesame oil treatment with other treatments keptthe same.Results: Group I: II period of type I: the average epithelization time is 40.6 days of10 cases; III period of type I: the average epithelization time is 58.8 days of 10 cases;11 period of type II: in 10 cases, after 7 weeks (49 days) of the operation, many vesicles and newly grown polyps was found in 1 case (10%), after another operation, after another 11 weeks (77 days), the basic epithelization can be seen. This is also concluded in the clinical heal. The average epithelization period is 67.2 days.III period of type II: in 10 cases, after 9 weeks (63 days) of the operation, glomerate little vesicles and newly grown polyps were found in 2 cases (20%), after clearing with Hummer, complete epithelization resulted in average period of 14 weeks (98 days). The average epithelization period is 84 days. Group II: II period of type I: the average epithelization time is 62 days of 10 cases; III period of type I: in 10 cases, 4 cases (40%)another operation was carried out after 8 weeks (56 days) of the operation, basic epithelization resulted resulted after another 13 weeks (91 days). The average epithelization period is 84 days. II period of type II (10 cases) and III period of type II (10 cases): both periods had 3 cases, in which vesicles and little polyps repeatedly appear. After operation, epithelization resulted. The average epithelization period is respectively 93.8 days and 154 days.Conclusions: To chronic nasosinusitis and nasal polyps patients, with gelatin sponge soaked with honey and sesame oil and nasal dripping, through the function of the two Chinese medicine, it is found that earlier epithelizafion of ethmoidal sinus cavities resulted and infection rate lowers and less recrudesce and scab resulted. And the less symptom and scope of pathological changes, the better effects. This research broadens the application scope of honey and sesame oil and enriches the traditional medicine of China.
