Abstract
Introduction. This work aimed at the analysis of results of the treatment of nasal and paranasal sinus polyps by the endoscopic method. Material and methods. The tests were conducted on 142 patients, including 75 women and 67 men at the age of 17–68, who underwent the endoscopic surgical treatment due to nasal polyps and paranasal sinus polyps between 2006–2007. In all the patients we conducted functional surgical procedures of the nose and paranasal sinuses by the endoscopic method. In the post-operative treatment we applied the nasal steroid therapy and guided antibiotic therapy. The effi ciency of the treatment was assessed 6 months after the procedure. Results. All in all, we conducted 278 polipectomies (163 repolipectomies) of the nose, 278 ethmoidectomies (56 reethmoidectomies), 188 ostium-ductal complex operations, 43 maxillary sinus operations, 21 sphenoid sinus operations and 64 surgical dilatations of the sphenoid sinus ostinum, 49 surgical dilations of the frontal sinuses. In 7 cases the nasal septum operation was conducted simultaneously. Six months following the operation, the endoscopic test showed a correct patency in the ostinum of the paranasal sinuses, sphenoid and frontal sinuses, and no infl ammatory traits like reddening, swelling of the nasal mucosa or any pathological secretion. Four times we noticed reddening and swelling of the nasal mucosa, and the mucopurpulent secretion accompanying correct patency of the ostinum in the paranasal sinuses. The control examination carried out 6 months after the surgical treatment showed, according to the patients, the appropriate nasal patency in 93.7%, sensation of the blood flowing down the throat in 20.4%, mucorrhoea in 2.8%, smell impairment in 17.6% and headache in 2.8%. Conclusions. In the majority of the cases we conducted nasal and paranasal sinus re-operations after the prior traditional procedures, which are still used in many institutions not equipped with endoscopic surgery appliances.
