Objective:
The aim: To increase the effectiveness of treatment of sinusitis polyposa patients, develop and introduce a new non-traditional complex method of influencing several links of the pathogenesis of this disease, including laser therapy and laser puncture, used in the postoperative period.
Patients And Methods:
Materials and methods: In 60 rhinosinusitis polyposa patients the indicators of lipid peroxidation and the state of antioxidant protection were studied. Depending on the type of treatment, the patients were divided into two groups: the first included 30 people who underwent traditional surgical intervention, and the second - 30 people who used complex therapy, including in the postoperative period endonasal laser exposure and laser puncture. Methods: clinical data, the functional state of the nasal mucosa, indicators of lipid peroxidation (hydroperoxide, malondialdehyde) and antioxidant activity (glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase, reduced glutathione, superoxide cismutase, catalase) of erythrocyte membranes and blood serum were studied.
Results:
Results: The proposed complex method for treating lipids of erythrocyte membranes and serum, which includes endonasal surgical intervention, endonasal laser therapy and laser puncture leads to the normalization of physiological functions of the nose, activates antioxidant protection and reduces the peroxide activity of lipids in the membranes of erythrocytes and blood serum.
Conclusion:
Conclusions: When examining patients in the long-term (after 1 year) period, a significant improvement in 85.7% of cases, an improvement in 10.7%, and absence of effect in 3.6% was achieved. Thus, the proposed method of therapy can be recommended for widespread use in medical institutions.
