Posterior nasal cautery with silver nitrate
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 March 2006
Abstract
A method of cauterizing the posterior parts of the nose without damage to the anterior mucosa is presented. A silver nitrate stick was sheathed within a cut segment of a nasogastric (NG) tube and endoscopically advanced within the nose until the vessel was reached. The stick was then pushed until the silver nitrate protruded and the vessel was cauterized.
