Summary
Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) offers a high success rate for chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps, with over 90% effectiveness. Careful surgical technique and follow-up minimize complications like nasal adhesion.
Area of Science:
- Otolaryngology
- Surgical Innovation
Context:
- Chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps significantly impact quality of life.
- Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) is a common treatment modality.
Purpose:
- To evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of ESS.
- To assess the curative effects of ESS in managing chronic rhinosinusitis and nasal polyposis.
Summary:
- A study involving 165 patients (276 sides) treated with ESS for chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps was conducted.
- Post-operative follow-up at one year revealed a cure rate of 64.8%, symptomatic relief in 26.1%, and an overall effective rate of 90.9%.
- The primary complication observed was nasal cavity adhesion, highlighting the importance of precise surgical technique.
Impact:
- ESS demonstrates significant long-term success in treating chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps.
- Precise management of the middle turbinate and appropriate hemostasis are crucial for optimal outcomes.
- Regular follow-up care can effectively reduce the incidence of post-operative complications.
