Summary
Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) effectively treats chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps, with a 94.1% success rate. Optimal outcomes depend on surgical skill and post-operative care.
Area of Science:
- Otolaryngology
- Surgical Innovation
Context:
- Chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps significantly impact quality of life.
- Minimally invasive surgical techniques are increasingly preferred.
Purpose:
- To evaluate the efficacy of endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) for chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps.
- To assess the safety and complication rates associated with ESS.
Summary:
- A retrospective analysis of 40 patients (70 sides) undergoing ESS for chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps.
- A 94.1% overall effective rate was observed, with 73.5% cured and 20.6% improved after six months.
- No serious complications occurred; minor issues included post-operative bleeding and synechiae.
Impact:
- ESS demonstrates significant therapeutic value for chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps.
- Surgical proficiency and diligent post-operative care are crucial for successful long-term results.
- This study supports ESS as a safe and effective treatment option.
