Abstract

 Objective: Endonasal cocaine gauzes are applied during functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) for their combined analgesic and decongestive properties. Seeking an alternative for cocaine, tetracaine/oxymetazoline, and ropivacaine/oxymetazoline were investigated for their efficacy and safety during FESS.
