This was a study of the effect of functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) on the ciliary regeneration of maxillary sinus mucosa in patients with chronic maxillary sinusitis, using objective quantitative methods. Twenty specimens from the mucosa of both the superolateral wall and the ostium of the maxillary sinus were sampled during FESS and then six to 12 months later. They were light examined first by light microscopy and then by scanning electron microscopy in combination with image analysis software in order to study the cilia under higher magnification and to calculate proportion of the field that was ciliated. Samples were taken and studied at Cairo University hospital. This study showed that the maxillary sinus mucosa in chronic sinusitis is capable of regeneration and could return towards normal with the improvement of ventilation and drainage of the maxillary sinus following FESS. There were no significant changes in the degree of glandular hyperplasia, goblet cells or pathological glands after surgery.

Chronic Maxillary Sinusitis

AbstractThe role of the anterior ethmoids in the pathogenesis of chronic maxillary sinusitis is still a subject of controversy. Although the symptoms of maxillary sinusitis may be clinically dominant, many previous studies have showed that the origin of this disease was, in most cases, located within the anterior ethmoid region.This study included 100 Egyptian patients, suffering from chronic maxillary sinusitis (confirmed by maxillary sinoscopy), who were subjected to ‘systematic nasal endoscopy’. It was found that all cases of chronic maxillary sinusitis were associated with anatomical variations and/or pathological abnormalities of ‘the ostiomeatal area’. It is recommended, therefore, that during the diagnosis and treatment of chronic maxillary sinusitis, attention should be given to the region of the middle meatus and anterior ethmoid complex (or ‘ostiomeatal area’) for any anatomical variations and/or pathological abnormalities in order to avoid recurrence of maxillary sinusitis. This is the basis of the procedure of functional endoscopic sinus surgery.

Chronic Maxillary Sinusitis

Objective: To determine frequency of our complications of endoscopic sinus surgery without pre-operative CT-Scan and to compare this frequency with other similar studies done with the help of pre-operative CT-Scans. Study Design: Cross sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: ENT Department, Combined Military Hospital Skardu Pakistan, from Jun 2017 to Jun 2019. Methodology: Total 69 patients (116 Sides) were operated under general anesthesia by using 0 and 30 degree endoscopes to address the Maxillary sinusitis. Frequency of complications was compared to other studies by applying chi-square test for goodness of fit. The complications were also correlated to ages of patients by applying Spearman correlation analysis. Results: Mean age was 29.75 ± 10.9 years (range 15-75). Overall complications rate was 4.3% (5 out of 116 sides, 95% confidence interval 4.23-4.4). Peri-orbital ecchymosis and peri-orbital emphysema were most commonly occurring complications (4.3%). This complication rate was compared to few other studies, which proved that difference was not statistically significant. Correlation of occurrences of orbital complications with the age proved that there was no statistically significant correlation (Correlation coefficient r=-0.085, p-value 0.276). Conclusion: Isolated chronic maxillary sinusitis refractory to medical treatment can be treated by endoscopic sinus surgery without pre-operative CT-Scan.

To evaluate the secretory element transformation of maxillary sinus mucosa after endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS), I enrolled 20 patients. Five normal antral mucosae were used as controls, and 15 antral mucosae were investigated according to pathologic and secretory patterns. The post-ESS mucosa was evaluated at the 16th week, when gross recovery appeared. Specimens from the rear wall of the antrum were observed under a scanning electron microscope (x2,000). A significant decrease of goblet cells and increase of glands was illustrated in the sinusitis cases, especially the polypoid and purulent groups. In post-ESS cases, the number of goblet cells is about the same as in controls, but the number of gland openings is higher. My conclusions were that 1) the repair of the antral mucosa requires more time than gross recovery and 2) post-ESS follow-up should be longer than 16 weeks to prevent recurrence.

Chronic Maxillary Sinusitis

Endoscopic and Caldwell-Luc surgical approaches in 150 consecutive patients (aged 14–88 years) suffering from chronic maxillary sinusitis were compared. The patients were randomly subjected either to functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FES) with middle meatal antrostomy (n = 75) or to the Caldwell-Luc (C-L) operation (n = 75). In the FES group intraoperative bleeding was significantly lower than in the C-L group. There were no major complications during or after surgery in either group. Moderate or marked postoperative facial swelling and fever were more common in the C-L patients and also the need of analgetics was more frequent among them. One month postoperatively the antral irrigation findings did not differ between the groups, but C-L operated patients expressed more frequently distinct complaints than FES patients (P < .001).

Chronic Maxillary Sinusitis

The objective of our study was to assess the long-term effectiveness of balloon catheter sinuplasty in the treatment of pediatric chronic maxillary sinusitis following failed first-line medical and surgical management with adenoidectomy. Pediatric patients younger than 12 years were reviewed for having failed previous adenoidectomy and undergone a balloon catheter sinuplasty between August 2006 and March 2011 for chronic rhinosinusitis. Demographic data and clinical characteristics were recorded in patients who met inclusion criteria. Outcomes were assessed by need for functional endoscopic sinus surgery and persistence of chronic infection within at least 5 years of follow-up. Failure was defined by any child who was rediagnosed with chronic sinus disease after balloon catheter sinuplasty or who required endoscopic sinus surgery within 5 years. Sixty-two children were reviewed, with 38 patients meeting inclusion criteria (prior adenoidectomy, a preoperative Lund-Mackay score of ≥5, and balloon catheter sinuplasty). The mean age (standard deviation) was 6.76 (2.27) years with an age range of 2 to 11 years. Eight children (21.1%, P < .01) continued to have chronic sinus complaints following balloon procedure, with 5 (13.1%) individuals requiring eventual endoscopic surgery within 5 years. Age, asthma, allergy, and gender did not have any statistically significant impact on outcome. Balloon catheter sinuplasty is an effective long-term alternative for the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis in pediatric patients, hoping to avoid further infections and eventual endoscopic surgery.

Intent To Treat

Sinus irrigation is the traditional treatment for chronic maxillary sinusitis. Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) restores aeration and allows secretions to be removed from an infected sinus. This study compares the efficacy of sinus irrigation with that of sinus irrigation followed by FESS in 89 patients. We measured the effects by way of sinus radiographs, nasendoscopic findings, and patient complaints. When we analyzed the data in terms of intent to treat, we found significantly favorable results for sinus irrigation followed by FESS at the end point, though only for loss of smell and purulent rhinitis. Treatment consisting of sinus irrigation alone prevented surgery in 58% of all patients for 1 year. Both treatment methods were combined with a 10-day course of loracarbef, which might have contributed to the outcome. We conclude that a good option for treatment of chronic maxillary sinusitis seems to be sinus irrigation in combination with a broad-spectrum antibiotic followed by FESS.
