Introduction: Osteitis in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a predictive factor of disease severity and an important potential reason for disease recalcitrance. Other than medical treatment, transnasal endoscopic surgery could be another choice to deal with osteitis in CRS. Objective: In this study, 2 different surgical outcomes and influence in patients with osteitis in CRS were discussed. Methods: A retrospective analysis of 51 cases was carried out. Osteitis in CRS was confirmed by sinus computed tomography (CT). According to surgical management, patients were divided into the radical endoscopic sinus surgery (RESS) group (n = 24) and functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) group (n = 27). Baseline measures and postoperative outcomes were evaluated by symptom visual analog scale (VAS), peripheral blood eosinophil percentage, serum total IgE, skin prick test, endoscopy Lund-Kennedy score, CT scan Lund-Mackay score, and global osteitis scoring scale (GOSS) in 2 groups. Results and Conclusions: There was no significant difference between the 2 groups in age, gender, and complicated with allergic rhinitis and asthma. The preoperative symptom VAS score and endoscopy Lund-Kennedy score were higher in the RESS group than in the FESS group, and the Lund-Mackay score and GOSS score were similar in the 2 groups. One year after surgery, symptom VAS scores, endoscopy Lund-Kennedy score, and Lund-Mackay score were significantly lower in the 2 groups. The endoscopy Lund-Kennedy score and Lund-Mackay score were lower in the RESS group than in the FESS group 1 year after surgery. RESS was more effective in reducing inflammatory load of sinuses in patients with osteitis in CRS.

INTRODUCTION: Rhinogenic headaches are basically described as headache or facial pain caused by rhinological source. The presence of nasal symptoms & it’s temporal relationship with headache is the key factor that can guide the diagnosis and patient management. AIMS: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of Septoplasty with Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (F.E.S.S) in the management of Rhinogenic headache. MATERIALS & METHODS: It was a Prospective study conducted in M.G.M Medical College & associated M.Y group of hospitals from March 2019 to March 2020. 64 patients of age group 18 years to 60 years having chronic rhinosinusitis with headache included in the study. After detailed history and thorough examination, nasal endoscopy and CT Paranasal sinus was done. Patients not responding to conservative management were selected for undergoing functional endoscopic sinus surgery. RESULTS: A total of 64 patients were included in the study,34 male & 30 female with the mean age group of 31.4 & 30.1 years respectively. Out of 64 patients,67% were completely free from headache,15% were significantly improved,7% had mild relief & 11% did not show any benefit in headache from surgery. Postoperatively, there was statistically significant difference was found patient’s symptomatology (i.e. p value =0.0165). CONCLUSION: To make the diagnosis both anatomical & infective factors needed to be considered. Correction of obvious anatomic abnormalities in carefully selected patients can significantly improve several important clinical outcomes from abolishing headache completely to decreasing its intensity and frequency of episodes.

AbstractObjective:To determine the effect of pterygopalatine fossa injection with xylocaine and adrenaline on: surgical field bleeding and blood loss during functional endoscopic sinus surgery for chronic rhinosinusitis, and the duration of the procedure.Methods:A prospective, single-blinded, controlled trial was performed in a tertiary care academic centre. A total of 45 patients undergoing functional endoscopic sinus surgery for chronic rhinosinusitis, whose disease was symmetrical based on computed tomography grading, were included. A unilateral pterygopalatine fossa injection with 1 per cent xylocaine and 1:100 000 adrenaline was performed after the induction of anaesthesia. The contralateral side served as the control. The operating surgeon, who was blinded to the injected side, assessed the surgical field using a validated six-item grading system. Blood loss, blood pressure, heart rate and end-tidal carbon dioxide were recorded every 15 minutes for each side separately, and duration of surgery was noted.Results:There was no statistically significant difference in the surgical field grade between the injected and non-injected sides (p = 0.161). There were no differences in blood loss or duration of surgery.Conclusion:Pterygopalatine fossa injection prior to functional endoscopic sinus surgery did not decrease intra-operative surgical field bleeding, blood loss or duration of surgery.

AbstractObjective:To compare the complication rates and outcome of computer-assisted versus non-computer-assisted functional endoscopic sinus surgery.Methods:We reviewed retrospectively the medical records of 276 patients who had undergone sinus surgery for chronic rhinosinusitis with (n = 108) or without (n = 168) computer assistance, from 1996 to 2004, to determine the incidence of complications and need for revision surgery.Results:The incidence of complications was 6.5 per cent in the computer-assisted group and 6.0 per cent in the non-computer-assisted group (p = 1.00). In the computer-assisted group, 9.2 per cent needed revision surgery, compared with 10.7 per cent in the non-assisted group (p = 0.84).Conclusions:Although our study found no significant difference in complications or revision rates, computer-assisted surgery serves as an important orientation aid during functional endoscopic sinus surgery.

Abstract BACKGROUND. Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is one of the most common health problems in adults, which not only causes physical symptoms, but also results in functional and emotional impairment. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) on SNOT-22 in cases of chronic rhinosinusitis. MATERIAL AND METHODS. A total of 50 patients, between 18-60 years of age, who had taken treatment for CRS but found no improvement, were enrolled in the study. Before surgery, all patients were asked to fill the SNOT-22 form, the CT score was evaluated, and FESS was performed. A reevaluation with SNOT-22 questionnaire was performed 10 days, 1 and 3 months after surgery. The preoperative and postoperative scores and change score were calculated. RESULTS. The initial preoperative mean score was 39.96±13.41. The percentage decrease in symptom score on the 10th day, the first and third month postoperatively was 42%, 74% and 91% respectively. Males had scored higher as compared to females. There was no correlation between the CT score and SNOT-22 score. Rhinological symptoms scored more than 74% in chronic rhinosinusitis cases. CONCLUSION. SNOT-22 can be used in routine clinical practice to inform clinicians about a full range of problems associated with chronic rhinosinusitis. Responses on the instrument can help focus the clinical encounter. It can also aid researchers in assessing the degree and effect of rhinosinusitis on health status, QoL and to measure treatment response.
