Objective:
To analyze the possible factors affecting the results of nasal endoscopic surgery in nasal polyp and chronic sinusitis patients and to discuss the ways to improve the results of operation.
Method:
Retrospective analysis was done in 226 patients followed up more than 3 year. The analysis was focused on patients' occupation, personal habits, extent of persisting on rehabilitation therapy after operation and clinical recovery status.
Result:
The patients who work in the environment rich of irritating substance and dust,the patients having unhealthy habits (e. g: spicy food and alcohol addicting) and the patients who did not take or insist on rehabilitation therapy after operation (e. g: local and systemic medication, nasal lavage and cleaning up of surgical cavities under nasal endoscope) had higher frequency of relapse and quicker recurrence. Rehabilitation therapy was the most important factor affecting the results of operation.
Conclusion:
Insisting on systemic rehabilitation therapy after operation is a occupation protection and kicking the unhealthy personal habits can prevent and reduce the recurrence of nasal polyp and chronic sinusitis after nasal endoscopic surgery.
