Comparison of microwave ablation and chemical cautery used to control adult idiopathic recurrent anterior epistaxis.

CONCLUSION: Microwave ablation afforded rapid and simple haemostasis for adults with recurrent anterior epistaxis in an out-patient setting. Microwave ablation had significant advantages compared to silver nitrate cautery when used to treat epistaxis in patients with convex lesions. PMID: 32066510 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
