At the end of the operation, merocel nasal packing was used in 98 patients 45 women, 53 men; mean age 28±10 years; range 18 to 43 years , and internal nasal splint was used in 99 patients 43 women, 56 men; mean age 31±12 years; range 18 to 44 years . Nasal packs were removed after 48 hours. Patients were asked to rate pain severity with a visual analogue scale VAS during the withdrawal of nasal packing. Both groups were compared statistically with VAS scores. Results: The assessment made by the surgeon, the internal nasal splint, is more easily observed in the application into the nose by merocele p>0.05 . The assessment made by the patient, the pain after removel of internal nasal splint is less than merocel. The difference was statistically significant p
