Abstract BACKGROUND. Indications for endoscopic sinus surgery have been widely expanding since its introduction, to such an extent that it is now accepted as the ideal method for the treatment of some orbital conditions. Endoscopic approach to orbits provides excellent visualization with minimal cosmetic and functional morbidity. MATERIAL AND METHODS. This descriptive study has been conducted in the Department of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, KMC, Manipal, during July 2010 and July 2014. We evaluated the role of endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) as a surgical mode of treatment in different types of orbital diseases. RESULTS. 24 patients underwent ESS approach for various ophthalmologic conditions. CONCLUSION. Results from our studies showed that the endoscopic sinus surgery approach is effective and has better results than an open approach in the management of certain types of orbital pathology.

Objectives 1) To investigate the role of Helicobacter pylori in etiopathogenesis of nasal polyposis. 2) To compare the severity of nasal polyposis disease with presence of Helicobacter pylori. Methods This study was performed on 35 patients (29 male, 6 female; aged between 17 and 77) who applied to GATA Haydarpasa Training Hospital Otolaryngology Clinic in 2006 and 2007. They all complained of nasal obstruction and were diagnosed as nasal polyposis after examination. Samples taken from all patients during endoscopic sinus surgery were subjected to cetyl metil amonium bromur (STAB) method to purify DNA of Helicobacter pylori(H. pylori). All patients were evaluated for reflux disease. Severity of nasal polyposis disease was compared with presence of H. pylori by performing endoscopic nasal examination and computerized tomography. Results H. Pylori was found negative for 24 patients (%68,6) and positive for 11 patients (%31,4). There was no statistically significant difference between presence of H. pylori and that of reflux disease in nasal polyposis (p>0.05). Difference between presence of H. pylori and results of endoscopic nasal examination and computerized tomography was not statistically significant (p>0.05). Conclusions We found that presence of H. pylori and reflux disease are not associated with etiopathogenesis of nasal polyposis.
