Nasal Desmopressin Versus Topical Epinephrine in Endonasal Dacryocystorhinostomy

• Status: Not yet recruiting
• Trial end date: 2023-02-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

Dacryocystorhinostomy aims to create a channel between the lacrimal sac and nasal mucosa to relieve nasolacrimal duct occlusion. General anesthesia is still preferred by many surgeons to secure the airway and control blood pressure. Bleeding even minor can obscure the surgical field. This can extend the operative time & increase the failure rate. The hemostatic effect of desmopressin on the quality of the surgical field was investigated in patients undergoing endoscopic sinus surgery and revealed that desmopressin could reduce intraoperative bleeding.
