  Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (ESS) has become the gold standard for treating chronic rhinosinusitis and nasal polyposis. With its minimally invasive approach and high success rates, ESS offers significant relief to patients. However, postoperative bleeding remains one of the most common and troublesome complications. To address this, intranasal absorbable sponges for sinus surgery have become valuable tools for safe and efficient bleeding control.To prevent issues such as adhesion formation, middle turbinate lateralization, and restenosis, nasal packing is frequently used after ESS [1]. Traditionally, non-absorbable nasal packs have been employed for this purpose. While effective, they come with notable drawbacks: Painful removal that may cause mucosal trauma and rebleeding Patient discomfort due to nasal obstruction Increased risk of infections, foreign body reactions, or granuloma formation [2]. To overcome these limitations, absorbable nasal packing materials have emerged as a pre...

  Introduction Controlling bleeding during and after dental procedures is a critical aspect of surgical success and patient safety. The challenge becomes significantly more complex in individuals with systemic comorbidities such as hypertension or diabetes or those on anticoagulant medications like apixaban, warfarin, or rivaroxaban. Common dental procedures like flap surgeries, bone grafting, and tooth extractions can sometimes trigger unexpected bleeding. If not managed promptly, this bleeding can escalate into severe complications, including emergency interventions, delayed wound healing, or even surgical site infections [1, 2]. Traditionally, dentists and oral surgeons have relied on a combination of techniques including mechanical pressure, vasoconstrictor-soaked gauze, or conventional pressure dressings moistened with saline [3,4]. While these methods can be effective, they often fall short in high-risk patients such as the elderly or those on blood thinners where delayed or ...
