Abstract

Topical vasoconstriction using four to 10 per cent cocaine is widely used for nasal surgery. A number of techniques are being used with equally satisfactory results. Here we describe a novel method of topical application of cocaine for nasal surgery. The method is simple, cheap and effective.
