Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 13
Abstract
BACKGROUND Nasal polyposis is the most common chronic disease affecting the mucous membranes of the nasal cavity and the paranasal sinuses, and following chronic sinusitis it is the most frequent indication for surgical intervention in the nose and paranasal sinuses. MATERIALS AND METHODS Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is a minimally invasive technique that uses an endoscope to improve ventilation and drainage in addition to polyp removal. This technique has been used for more than a decade in treating sinonasal conditions. Its advantages are claimed over conventional surgery permitting a better view of surgical field, a more precise and thorough clearance of the disease process, fewer complications and lower recurrence rates. RESULTS The results of study revealed that endoscopic sinus surgery for nasal polyposis is a safe and simple procedure. As the procedure is carried out under direct magnified vision, bleeding is minimal and hospital stay of the patient is minimal and hence economical. CONCLUSION This study was conducted in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Rajindra Hospital, Patiala, Punjab, India. Forty patients presenting with nasal polyposis were included in the study. They were divided into two groups of 20 patients each. Group A was treated by conventional techniques of surgery and Group B was treated by endoscopic sinus surgery. Observations were made regarding the complications, recurrence of disease and relief from symptoms. The response to the treatment was determined on the basis of subjective improvement of symptoms. The response was categorised. The age of the patient in this study range varied from 9 to 52 years.
