Summary
This study evaluated Functional Endonasal Sinus Surgery (FESS) in 16 children with chronic sinusitis. Results suggest FESS is a viable surgical option for pediatric chronic sinusitis, comparable to existing literature.
Area of Science:
- Otolaryngology
- Pediatric Surgery
Background:
- Chronic sinusitis in children presents complex challenges.
- Identifying predisposing pathologies is crucial for effective management.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the outcomes of Functional Endonasal Sinus Surgery (FESS) in pediatric patients.
- To compare surgical results with existing literature.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective analysis of 16 pediatric patients undergoing FESS.
- Review of predisposing pathologies and treatment strategies.
Main Results:
- Functional Endonasal Sinus Surgery (FESS) was performed on 16 children.
- Outcomes were analyzed and compared to current literature.
Conclusions:
- Functional Endonasal Sinus Surgery (FESS) demonstrates potential efficacy in treating pediatric chronic sinusitis.
- Further research can validate these findings.
