METHOD FOR MANAGING POSTOPERATIVE PATIENTS AFTER SEPTOPLASTY Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC A61N5/67 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: septoplasty is followed by postoperative stable-contact pulsed magnetic laser infrared exposure on the patient's skin at wavelength 890-904 nm, power 7 Wt, frequency 80 Hz for 1.5 minutes. The exposure covers four points successively two of which adjoin wings of nose, whereas the other two are found on the lateral nasal walls. The treatment is performed for 3 days daily, 1 procedure a day. After swabs are taken off from the nasal cavity, the procedure is added with endonasal low-intensity red laser exposure for another 3 days at wavelength 635 nm in a continuous mode of power 5 Wt for 1.5 minutes in each half of the nasal cavity.

EFFECT: method enables reducing the length of re-convalescence and recovery of the nasal mucosa, particularly mucociliary clearance, reducing the signs of injury-induced aseptic inflammation, eliminating an oedema, reducing the risk of postoperative haemorrhages following the septoplasty by the combined use of low-intensity red and infrared laser light.
