This is an observational study that follows patients who are having septorhinoplasty surgery (a procedure to straighten the nasal septum and reshape the nose). Researchers want to understand whether the length of time nasal packing remains in place after surgery affects whether patients develop pharyngitis (a sore throat). By tracking this relationship, the study aims to find ways to reduce sore throat complications and improve patient comfort after surgery.
After nose surgery, doctors pack the nasal passages with material to control bleeding and support healing. However, this packing can lead to mouth breathing, dry throat, and sore throat in some patients, causing discomfort and dissatisfaction. This study exists to understand how the duration of packing influences sore throat development so doctors can find better ways to manage post-surgical recovery.

As a participant, you would undergo your scheduled septorhinoplasty surgery as planned. After surgery, researchers would monitor and document how long your nasal packing remains in place and track whether you develop a sore throat during your recovery. You would likely have follow-up visits or assessments to report your symptoms, allowing the research team to collect information on the relationship between packing duration and sore throat development.
