Role of Nanoemulsified Sesame Oil in Post-operative Care After Endoscopic Sinus Surgery

Role of Nanoemulsified Sesame Oil in Post-operative Care After Endoscopic Sinus Surgery

The goal of our thesis is to design, develop and characterize a novel thermodynamically stable NE by spontaneous method intended for topical use. Subsequently, appraisal of nanoemulsified sesame oil formulation has been performed on the post-operative symptoms in CRS patients who have undergone ESS (endoscopic sinus surgery) combined with different types of nasal irrigation which may affect formulation efficacy.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Patient age between 18 and 60 years old.
2. chronic rhinosinusitis patients who have undergone endoscopic sinus surgery.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Patients with history of allergy for sesame seed derivatives.
2. Patients with chronic diseases which affecting the process of healing (uncontrolled DM, renal failure and hepatic failure).
3. Patients with nasal granulomas.
4. Patients with invasive fungal rhinosinusitis.
5. Smokers.
6. Patients with history of radio and/or chemotherapy exposure.
7. Patients with systemic diseases affecting integrity of nasal mucosa (e.g. CF, scleroderma, Sjogren syndrome …).
