Efficacy of a RADA‐16 peptide hydrogel versus chitosan‐based polymer in improving patient comfort during postoperative debridement: A randomized controlled trial

Bioresorbable nasal packing is associated with a decreased incidence of adhesions and bleeding postoperatively after endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). However, discomfort during postoperative debridement is still a major area of concern for patients. Our objective was to compare the efficacy of a peptide hydrogel to that of a chitosan-based polymer in reducing pain during debridement after ESS.
