Role of Septoplasty with Endoscopic Sinus Surgery in Management of Patients of Chronic Rhino Sinusitis? A Prospective, Randomized Observational Study
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Chronic rhino sinusitis is thought to be a disease secondary to obstruction caused by anatomic anomalies and reactive mucosal engorgement. The treatment of chronic rhino sinusitis aims at the re-establishment of proper aeration and drainage. In the present study patients who were observed to have sinusitis radiologically were treated either with septoplasty with functional endoscopic sinus surgery or functional endoscopic sinus surgery alone. Results were analyzed using CT scan of Para nasal sinuses and SNOT 20 test. Despite subjective improvement, many of the patients had evidence of residual sinus disease on radiological examinations in patients undergoing Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery alone. In conclusion where ever an anatomical abnormality was detected it is ideal to give a complete relief by performing Septoplasty along with Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery to give complete relief to the patients.
