AbstractIntroduction:Functional endoscopic sinus surgery is a common adjunct to medical therapy in cases of chronic rhinosinusitis and nasal polyposis.Aim:The objective of this study was to assess patients' quality of life up to two years after endoscopic sinus surgery.Method:Fifty consecutive patients attending a rhinology clinic filled in the Glasgow benefit inventory. The patients were divided into three groups according to the time period elapsed since surgery (i.e. six months, 12 months or up to two years).Results:The results showed that, generally, the Glasgow benefit inventory scores indicated a benefit from the procedure. Overall, surgery led to statistically significant improvements in both total and general scores (p < 0.05). Comparison of endoscopic sinus surgery with nasal polypectomy (plus endoscopic sinus surgery) indicated a greater benefit for polyp disease. No statistical difference was observed between the scores for females vs males or for various post-operative follow-up periods.

<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>
