Summary
This study tests a special hydrogel (PuraGel) placed inside the nose after skull base surgery to see if it helps the surgical site heal faster and reduces pain. Thirty adults having this surgery will be randomly assigned to get either the hydrogel or a standard silicone splint. Doctors will check healing and pain levels at 1, 4, and 12 weeks after surgery.
