Epistaxis Mucosal Grafting Treatment in India
About Epistaxis Mucosal Grafting
Key Highlights
-
Provides a long-term solution for recurrent, severe nosebleeds unresponsive to simpler treatments.Minimally invasive technique, often performed endoscopically with minimal external incisions.Uses the patient's own tissue (autograft), eliminating risks of rejection or foreign body reaction.Targets and reinforces the specific fragile area of the nasal mucosa responsible for bleeding.Can significantly improve a patient's quality of life by reducing anxiety and disruption caused by frequent epistaxis.
Who is this surgery for?
- Recurrent, severe epistaxis (nosebleeds) not controlled by nasal packing or cauterization.
- Bleeding from specific, localized areas of fragile mucosa, such as Little's area or the posterior septum.
- Patients with underlying conditions causing mucosal fragility, like hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT).
- Epistaxis secondary to trauma, surgery, or radiation therapy to the nasal region.
- Cases where previous interventions have failed or caused further tissue damage.
How to prepare
- Complete medical history review and physical examination by the ENT surgeon.
- Diagnostic nasal endoscopy to precisely locate the source of bleeding.
- Possible blood tests to check clotting function and rule out systemic disorders.
- Discontinuation of blood-thinning medications (like aspirin, warfarin) as advised by the doctor, typically 5-7 days prior.
- Fasting for 6-8 hours before the procedure if performed under general anesthesia.
- Discussion of anesthesia options (local with sedation or general) and obtaining informed consent.
Risks & possible complications
- Bleeding during or after the procedure, though the surgery itself aims to control it.
- Infection at the graft donor or recipient site.
- Graft failure or partial absorption, potentially requiring a repeat procedure.
- Temporary or permanent changes in nasal sensation.
- Nasal crusting, dryness, or synechiae (adhesions) during healing.
- Rare risks related to anesthesia.
- Discomfort or pain at the donor site (e.g., inside of cheek).
Recovery & hospital stay
- Initial 24-48 hours: Rest with head elevated. Avoid blowing the nose, strenuous activity, and hot liquids.
- Nasal packing or splints may be placed and removed after a few days.
- Use of saline nasal sprays and ointments as prescribed to keep the graft moist and prevent crusting.
- Avoidance of nose-picking, heavy lifting, and straining for 2-3 weeks.
- Follow-up endoscopic visits are crucial to monitor graft healing and remove any crusts.
- Full integration of the graft and stabilization of the nasal lining typically takes several weeks.

I was a total wreck before...
I was a total wreck before my appointment. First time seeing a doctor on my own and I was convinced it was something serious. Dr. Muthusamy just had this calm way about him. He listened to all my jumbled-up worries, did a quick check, and explained everything in a way that actually made sense. Walked out feeling silly for being so nervous, but mostly just relieved.
