AbstractObjective:This study aimed to assess the long-term outcome of functional endoscopic sinus surgery for Samter's triad patients using an objective visual analogue scale and nasal endoscopy.Method:Using a retrospective database, 33 Samter's triad patients who underwent functional endoscopic sinus surgery were evaluated pre- and post-operatively between 1987 and 2007 in Hospital of La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland.Results:A total of 33 patients participated in the study, and the mean follow-up period was 11.6 years (range 1.2–20 years). Patients were divided into two groups based on visual analogue scale scores of the five parameters with the greatest difference in intensity of symptoms between the beginning and end of follow up. Group 1 included patients with a mean visual analogue scale score of 6 and below at the end of follow up and group 2 included patients with a mean visual analogue scale score of more than 6. The only statistically significant difference noted between the two groups was the endonasal findings: stage III–IV polyposis was present in 1 out of 24 patients (4 per cent) in group 1 and in 5 out of 9 patients (56 per cent) in group 2.Conclusion:The results of our study indicate that functional endoscopic sinus surgery helps stabilise disease progression. Stage III–IV polyposis had a significant adverse effect on long-term outcome.

Interventional Study

Loss of olfactory function is one of the main symptoms in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis. This prospective, non-randomized interventional study reports five years results of olfaction of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis who underwent endoscopic sinus surgery in conjunction with topical medical treatment. Forty-five patients with chronic rhinosinusitis who underwent endoscopic sinus surgery were evaluated preoperatively, after three months and 34 (76%) of them after five years. Olfactory function was assessed by a subjective visual analogue scale, by a screening test of olfaction with Smell Diskettes and by measuring the N-Butanol threshold. Patient`s subjective sense of olfaction using a visual analogue scale was improved in 79% at 5 years. Objective measurements by Smell Diskettes improved in 53% at 5 years whilst the quantitative measurement by the N-Butanol threshold improved in 85% at 5 years. The high percentage of patients with improvement of olfaction five years after surgery indicates that endoscopic sinus surgery in conjunction with continued topical treatment leads to a long term improvement of the sense of smell. However, it was found that - measured by the sensitive N-Butanol threshold - up to 9% had no improvement and 6% had deterioration in their olfaction at 5 years after endoscopic sinus surgery. This fact has to be considered in the preoperative counselling of patients.

OBJECTIVE: We sought to determine whether functional endoscopic sinus (FES) surgery performed in children with chronic rhinosinusitis alters facial growth. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING: This was a retrospective age-matched cohort outcome study performed at a tertiary care hospital. RESULTS: Sixty-seven children participated. There were 46 boys and 21 girls, and the mean age was 3.1 years at presentation and 13.2 years at follow-up. There were 46 children who underwent FES surgery and 21 children who did not undergo FES surgery. Quantitative anthropomorphic analysis was performed using 12 standard facial measurements. A facial plastic expert performed qualitative facial analysis. Both quantitative and qualitative analyses showed no statistical significance in facial growth between children who underwent FES surgery and those who did not undergo FES surgery. CONCLUSIONS: In this study, there was no evidence that FES surgery affected facial growth. SIGNIFICANCE: These results will aid physicians when discussing with parents the risks of FES surgery.

Before And After

Background Antibiotics are used routinely in the postoperative care of functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS), but their efficacy has not been well evaluated. Methods Patients with chronic rhinosinusitis who underwent FESS were enrolled in this study. They were randomly divided into two groups: a study group and a control group. In the study group, patients took amoxicillin/clavulante for 3 weeks after FESS. In the control group, no antibiotic was given after FESS. Before FESS, all patients filled out a symptom questionnaire and received nasal endoscopy. Swab specimens were taken from the middle meati for bacterial cultures. These procedures were done again 3 weeks after FESS. Results Seventy-one patients completed the study. Thirty-one patients were in the study group, and 40 patients were in the control group. The symptom scores significantly decreased after surgery in both groups, but bacteria identified before and after FESS were statistically different in both groups. There were no differences in the symptom and endoscopic scores, rates of bacterial culture, and drug sensitivity to amoxicillin/clavulante between the two groups after FESS. Conclusion This study showed that postoperative care with amoxicillin/clavulante did not improve the short-term outcome of FESS on chronic rhinosinusitis or decrease bacterial growth 3weeks after FESS, although the long-term influence was not evaluated in this study.
