Description
Ahmed Elgendy and colleagues test, in 2026, whether a free graft of the patient's own septal lining can prevent scar bands after endoscopic sinus surgery. Middle meatus synechiae, adhesions that narrow the surgical corridor, are a common cause of persistent symptoms and revision surgery.
The prospective study at a tertiary centre from March 2022 to February 2024 enrolled adults with chronic rhinosinusitis without polyps whose disease resisted medical therapy. After one-sided surgery, a free septal mucosal graft covered exposed bone, and outcomes were scored with symptom and endoscopy scales. Sinus surgeons gain feasibility and safety data for a no-cost graft using tissue already in the operative field.
