Functional endoscopic sinus surgery effectively treats chronic sinusitis, improving symptoms like nasal obstruction and pain. This minimally invasive approach aids in diagnosis and sinus clearance, offering significant patient improvement.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Chronic sinusitis impacts sinus ventilation and mucociliary clearance.
  • Unilateral chronic sinusitis management remains debated, with some advocating the Caldwell-Luc procedure for potential malignancy association.

Observation:

  • 39 patients with refractory unilateral chronic sinusitis underwent endoscopic sinus procedures.
  • Procedures included ethmoidectomy and antrostomy, with maxillary sinus inspection for neoplasms.
  • Preoperative CT, postoperative pathology, and endoscopic findings were assessed.

Findings:

  • While three patients showed CT bone destruction, pathology revealed fungal infections (Aspergillus) or inverted papilloma, not malignancy.
  • 81% had near-normal endoscopic findings post-surgery.
  • 88% experienced significant symptom improvement after 26 months.

Implications:

  • Endoscopic sinus surgery is a safe and effective diagnostic and therapeutic tool for unilateral chronic sinusitis.
  • It offers significant symptomatic relief and improved sinus function.
  • This approach challenges the routine use of more invasive procedures for this condition.
