Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) significantly improves patient benefit and satisfaction, comparable to other ENT procedures. Patients with nasal polyps, obstruction, or headache reported the greatest gains.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Outcomes
  • Patient-Reported Outcomes

Background:

  • Chronic rhinosinusitis significantly impacts quality of life.
  • Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) is a common treatment, but its benefits require objective assessment.
  • Patient satisfaction is a crucial metric for surgical success.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the benefit and satisfaction levels of patients undergoing ESS.
  • To compare ESS outcomes with other otorhinolaryngological procedures.
  • To identify patient subgroups and factors influencing surgical benefit.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective study involving 140 patients invited for assessment.
  • Utilized the Glasgow Benefit Inventory (GBI) for benefit assessment.

  • Employed a validated outcome satisfaction score for patient-reported satisfaction.
  • Response rate of 71% (101 patients).

    • Main Results:

    • ESS demonstrated significant patient benefit and satisfaction via GBI and satisfaction scores.
    • Benefit from ESS favorably compared to other ENT procedures.
    • Maximal benefit observed in patients with nasal polyp disease.
    • Preoperative nasal obstruction or headache predicted higher benefit.
    • Co-morbidities (asthma, allergic rhinitis, aspirin intolerance) generally did not decrease benefit, except in non-polyp disease with both aspirin intolerance and asthma.
    • Postoperative nasal steroids or antihistamines did not influence benefit in non-polyp disease.

    Conclusions:

    • Endoscopic sinus surgery offers substantial and favorable benefits for patients.
    • Patient-reported outcomes are key to understanding surgical success in ESS.
    • Specific patient profiles, like those with nasal polyps or obstruction, experience greater benefits.
