Abstract:
Rhinosinusitis and bronchial asthma have been found to be coexistent in different studies. A prospective study of 23 patients with bronchial asthma who underwent Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (F.E.S.S) for coexistent chronic sinusitis was undertaken and the effect of endoscopic sinus surgery on bronchial asthma was analyzed in these patients using both subjective and objective criteria. It is concluded in this study that Functional endoscopic sinus surgery for chronic sinusitis in cases of bronchial asthma helps in reduction of their asthma symptoms, requirement of medication and helps in improving their peak expiratory flow.
