Comparison of steroid ‐releasing stents vs nonabsorbable packing as middle meatal spacers

ConclusionIn this study, nonabsorbable packing materials showed significant superior middle meatal spacing capacities as evidenced by greater middle turbinate medialization capability at the first postoperative visit. Additionally, patients with this type of packing saw improvements in their SNOT ‐22 scores at the 20‐day postoperative visit. This study showed that there was no significant improvement in postoperative outcomes with drug‐eluting stents when compared to nonabsorbable packing.
