[Experience in endoscopic sinus surgery in district hospital]
1Department of Otorhinolaryngology, People's Hospital of Panyu, Guangdong, Panyu 511400.
Objective:
To explore the importance and specificity of conducting endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) in district hospital.
Method:
Seventy patients with chronic nasal sinusitis or/and nasal polyps undergone ESS from June 1997 to October 1998 were retrospectively analyzed. The curative effect was evaluated according as FESS-95 Guangzhou Standard.
Result:
In all patients, 52 cases (74.3%) were cured, 16 cases (22.9%) improved, 2 cases (2.8%) unimproved and 4 cases (5.7%) were found with complications.
Conclusion:
The results showed that intranasal endoscopic sinus surgery had a significant effect on treating nasal-sinusitis and nasal polyps. The CT types of ethmoid sinus are significant in selecting anesthesia and operation program. To get a good result, a full combined therapy in the perioperation period and a careful endoscopic follow-up postoperation are important.
