<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> This paper aims to assess improvement in quality of life (QOL) after functional endoscopic sinus surgery through questionnaire sino-nasal outcome test (SNOT)-22.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> The present study was conducted on 50 patients in Department of ENT and HNS, SMGS Hospital, GMC Jammu during a time period of July 2017 to September 2019. All the patients with age ≥18 years who failed to respond to medical therapy (3 months) and underwent functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) were included in the study. SNOT-22 questionnaire was used to assess the improvement.  </p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> In our study, preoperative SNOT scores were higher (54±8.05) but after FESS they reduced significantly at 1st (16.47±5.51), 3rd (13.86±4.19), 6th months (12.9±8.05) post operatively. Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) with nasal polyposis group had greater mean difference of SNOT-22 scores (43.93) between preoperative period and 3 months postoperative period than patients grouped as CRS without nasal polyposis (41.47).</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> We concluded that FESS is the best surgical intervention for chronic rhinosinusitis. It significantly improves the quality of life of patients of chronic rhinosinusitis.</p>

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a common chronic disease, that have considerable impact on quality of life, functional and emotional impairments of affected beings. Post-surgical improvement of quality of life indicates the surgical success. Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is the dominating surgical procedure for CRS. This study was designed to assess the symptom profile of patient before and after surgery and the complications after FESS in the post-operative period.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> A total of 50 cases attending ENT outpatient department with clinical features and investigations suggestive of chronic sinusitis with infective pathology were randomly considered for this study. Cases were assessed for CRS symptoms pre and post operatively using grading symptoms.  </p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> Common major symptom was nasal obstruction (93.3%, N=28) followed by post nasal drip (83.33%, N=25), purulent nasal discharge (76.66%, N=23), facial pain/pressure (66.66%, N=20) and hyposmia (60%, N=18). None of the patients reported fever and facial congestion or fullness. Post operatively, cases with nasal obstruction (92.8%), purulent nasal discharge (86.9%), facial pain or pressure (85%), headache (81.8%), post nasal drip (84%), ear pain or fullness or pressure (92.8%) and hyposmia (61.1%) showed improvement after FESS at the end of three follow-up.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> The most common symptom pre operatively was nasal obstruction which also responded best to FESS, along with all the other minor symptoms including headache. The results of this study confirm that FESS is an excellent method of treatment in patients with CRS refractory to medical treatment.</p>

AbstractObjectives:To determine the effect on patients' quality of life of functional endoscopic sinus surgery performed for chronic rhinosinusitis within a tertiary care centre in Montreal, Canada.Methods:A prospective cohort study was undertaken. Subjects were consecutive patients with a diagnosis of chronic rhinosinusitis who had failed medical treatment and were undergoing functional endoscopic sinus surgery. Questionnaires assessing general health outcomes (i.e. the second version of the Short Form 12 questionnaire) and disease-specific outcomes (i.e. the Chronic Sinusitis Survey) were completed pre-operatively and a minimum of three months post-operatively.Results:A total of 152 patients were enrolled over a seven-month period, of whom 120 completed the post-operative surveys. The most common co-morbidity was asthma (40 per cent). Of the 120 patients with completed questionnaires, 72 per cent reported clinical improvement, 12 per cent reported deterioration and 15 per cent remained unchanged. The average improvement in Chronic Sinusitis Survey score was 17 per cent.Conclusion:Patients with chronic rhinosinusitis achieved a significant improvement in disease-specific quality of life after functional endoscopic sinus surgery. There was no significant improvement in general health related quality of life, as measured using the Short Form 12 questionnaire.
