Comparative Analysis of Silastic Stenting in Sinus Surgery

Silastic stenting is a measure taken to support tissue healing following sinus surgery. Silastic stents are inserted into the sinus cavities and provide structural support while facilitating healing in the critical period of recovery following surgery. There is controversy over the optimal duration for which silastic stents should be left in place. Having them in place for shorter periods may reduce the likelihood of stent-related reactions, while leaving them for longer periods could promote more tissue healing. The aim of this study is to compare the impact of stent duration on clinical outcomes of patients following sinus surgery.
