Intranasal Sinus Surgery: Revision Frontal Sinus Surgery Using Autologous Platelet Concentrate Enriched with Growth Factors

Abstract: Endoscopic pranasal sinus surgery is the accepted modality for dealing with chronic sinusitis that has failed medical therapy. Our group has used APC+ as an intranasal dressing for over 2 years and in over 175 similar procedures with excellent results. We have found APC+ to be an excellent hemostatic agent, reducing postoperative swelling, and it does not appear to lead to increased synechiae formation. Our practice routinely uses APC+ to accelerate healing in otolaryngology procedures ranging from intronasal surgery to craniofacial surgery.
