  The nasal turbinates help control airflow inside the nose and support normal breathing. A common problem in ENT practice is nasal blockage caused by inferior turbinate hypertrophy, which can happen due to conditions like rhinitis or deviated nasal septum. This may lead to long-term nasal obstruction, discomfort, and sleep problems.1 When medicines do not provide enough relief, surgeons may perform partial inferior turbinectomy (PIT) to improve airflow. However, after this surgery, doctors often need to manage issues such as bleeding, pain, slow healing, and intranasal adhesions (synichae).1,2 To help reduce these problems, surgeons use haemostatic agents and nasal packing materials. Two commonly used options are Oxidized Regenerated Cellulose (ORC), such as Surgi-ORC® and Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) nasal packs like SURGI-PVA™ .  Together, these solutions help control bleeding, support healing, and improve recovery after turbinate surgery. What is Surgi-ORC® ? Surgi-ORC®   ...

  Neurosurgery demands precision not just during the operation but also throughout the healing process, which plays a critical role in overall surgical outcomes. In repeat procedures especially for recurrent gliomas surgeons often encounter meningo-cerebral adhesions. Managing these adhesions can prolong surgery and increase the risk of focal cortical injury. They usually develop due to inflammation and disruption of the fragile dural border cell layer during surgery, which may ultimately affect patient survival and quality of life. 1–3 For this reason, preventing adhesion during the first surgery is crucial. Careful technique and good haemostasis support healing, repair the dural defect and reduce adhesion risk, showing the value of supportive surgical adjuncts.1,3 Why is prevention of meningo-cerebral adhesions important? Meningo-cerebral adhesions are commonly seen during repeat surgeries for high-grade gliomas. When these adhesions must be separated, they can lead to several in...
