Manji J, et al. - Researchers aimed to assess whether the incidence of postoperative synechiae, facial pain/discomfort, pain during spacer removal, scarring, and discharge differed between nasal cavities receiving Silastic or gloved-Merocel (GM) spacers after functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). Between Silastic-treated and GM-treated cavities, Lund-Mackay computed tomography (CT) scores were similar preoperatively. Up to 12 weeks postoperatively, no significant difference in the incidence of synechiae and scarring between spacers was seen. After FESS, less pain was reported by the patients during the removal of GM than Silastic spacers. Nonetheless, the likelihood of synechiae and scarring did not differ between either of the spacers.
