Summary
Endoscopic sinus surgery achieved a 95.4% effective rate for nasal and sinus conditions. This minimally invasive approach improved outcomes and minimized complications in patients.
Area of Science:
- Otolaryngology
- Surgical Innovation
Context:
- Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) is a common procedure for sinonasal diseases.
- Improving the efficacy and safety of ESS remains a clinical priority.
Purpose:
- To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of endoscopic sinus operation for improving curative effects.
Summary:
- A retrospective study analyzed 74 cases (115 sides) of endoscopic sinus operations, with 65 cases followed up for over six months.
- The overall effective rate was 95.4%, with significant symptom relief including nasal obstruction (95.2%) and headache (92%).
- No serious operative complications were reported, indicating a safe procedure.
Impact:
- The findings suggest that optimizing anesthesia techniques and careful dissection can enhance surgical outcomes.
- The study highlights the benefits of using both endoscopes and cavascopes for thorough and safe sinus ethmoidal operations.
- Post-operative cavity cleaning promotes healing and contributes to the high success rate.
