Objective: To compare the effect of preoperative oral steroids (prednisolone) on perioperative and postoperative hemorrhage in patients undergoing functional endoscopic sinus surgery for chronic sinusitis with those who do not receive steroids. Design:Randomized controlled trials. Place and duration of study:This study was conducted in ENT Department of Sri Krishna Medical College and Hospital (SKMCH), Muzaffarpur, Bihar from April 2020 to March 2021. Material and Methods: After getting informed consent total of 60 patients who fullled the inclusion criteria were selected and functional endoscopic sinus surgery was carried out. They were divided into two groups of 30 each by using random number tables. Group A received prednisolone in a dose of 01 mg/kg body weight for 01 week prior to surgery (last day of dose being the day prior to operative day) while group B (control group) did not receive any steroid. Results:There was a signicant difference in both perioperative and postoperative hemorrhage with better control rates in group A. Conclusion: Prednisolone given preoperatively signicantly reduces the morbidity that is perioperative and postoperative hemorrhage thus early recovery to normal life style in patients undergoing functional endoscopic sinus surgery for chronic sinusitis.

Background: Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS), effective control of bleeding is essential to maintain a clear operative field and to minimize complications. Intraoperative bleeding is one of the major problems in endoscopic surgery of sinuses. Controlled hypotension is a technique used to limit intraoperative blood loss to provide the best possible field for surgery. Objective: The objective of study was role of Hypotensive Anaesthesia in Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery and designed to compare intraoperative hemorrhage and the visibility of the operative field during normotension and hypotension anesthesia. Methods: Prospective randomized study includes a total of 60 ASA I-II patients who underwent elective FESS surgery. Patients randomly assigned in two groups the hypotension group (Group A) and the normotension group (Group B). Intraoperative mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR) were recorded. Results : This study shows the mean ages of the patients of group A group B were 33.36±7.61 and 32.46±7.73 years respectively. No statistically significant difference was observed among groups at 0.05 level in term of age. The mean heart rate pre-anaesthesia and preoperative among the patients of different groups in different follows up period. Significance differences were observed among groups in term of heart rate at 5 minute, 15 minute, 30 minute, 45 minute and 60 minute. The mean arterial mean blood pressure before pre-anaesthesia and preoperative estimation among the patients of different groups in different follows up period. Significance differences were observed among groups at 5 minute, 15 minute, 30 minute, 45 minute and 60 minute. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that Controlled hypotension can be achieved equally and effectively by nitroglycerin and labetalol reduced significantly intraoperative hemorrhage and produce hypotensive anesthesia. Both are equally effective in providing ideal surgical field during functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). Bangladesh J Otorhinolaryngol; April 2018; 24(1): 8-13

Abstract Background Chronic rhinosinusitis represents an important health care problem in the world. Deviated nasal septum leads to increased chance of impaired mucociliary clearance, osteomeatal complex obstruction, and development of rhinosinusitis. Studies have revealed the role of septoplasty in curing chronic rhinosinusitis in patients with significant septal deviation. The purpose of this study is to reveal the role of septoplasty alone or combined with functional endoscopic sinus surgery in improving the outcome of chronic rhinosinusitis in patients with significant septal deviation. Results Postoperative computed tomography findings in group A (underwent septoplasty only) were mild opacity of ethmoid (25%), sinus mucosal thickening (15%), and occluded osteomeatal complex with discharge (25%). Postoperative computed tomography findings in group B mild opacity of ethmoid (30%), sinus mucosal thickening (20%), and occluded osteomeatal complex with discharge (30%). The Sino-Nasal Outcome Test score in group A decreased significantly from 85.75 to 28.85 (P < 0.05). In group B (underwent combination of septoplasty and functional endoscopic sinus surgery), the Sino-Nasal Outcome Test score also decreased significantly from 87.75 to 32.55 (P < 0.05). The improvement was 85% in group A and 80% in group B. Conclusion The post-operative improvement has no significant difference between the two groups. Hence, we suggest that septoplasty alone can be adequate for the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis with septal deviation.

Background: Increased intraoperative bleeding during functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) affects operative field visibility, which increases both duration of surgery and frequency of complications. Controlled hypotension is an anaesthetic technique in which there is deliberate reduction of systemic blood pressure during anaesthesia. The aim of the study was to compare the efficacy of dexmedetomidine against propofol infusion when used for controlled hypotension during FESS. Methods: A randomised, prospective, and single-blinded study was carried out, which included 80 patients of either sex of ASA grade І & ІІ who underwent elective FESS. Patients were randomly assigned to two groups: Group A (dexmedetomidine), Group B (propofol). Intraoperative mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), surgical grade of bleeding (based on the Fromme– Boezzart scale), and amount of bleeding were recorded. Results: Groups were well matched for their demographic data. There was a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) between Group A and Group B in heart rate, mean arterial pressure (MAP) and mean total blood loss, with Group A being effectively in controlled on all three parameters during FESS. However, there was no significant difference (p > 0.05) in terms of surgical grade of bleeding between Group A and Group B. Conclusions: Both dexmedetomidine and propofol infusion are efficacious to facilitate controlled hypotension and haemodynamic stability intraoperatively.

Abstract Background: This study explored the effectiveness of preoperative intravenous injection of butorphanol in the alleviation of emergence agitation (EA) in patients undergoing functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS).Methods: Patients (n = 708) were randomized into two groups. The butorphanol group (Group B, n=358) received butorphanol infusion (20 ug/kg) before anaesthesia induction, while the control group (Group C, n=350) received an equal volume of normal saline infusion. General anaesthesia was induced with sufentanil, propofol and rocuronium, and was maintained with sevoflurane and remifentanil. Vasoactive drugs maintained the haemodynamic indices within 20% of the baseline.Results: The incidence of EA (Group B vs. C: 24.3 vs. 31.4%, P = 0.034). The times to spontaneous breathing (26.5 min vs. 23.7 min, P = 0.011), verbal response (36.0 min vs. 33.4 min, P = 0.012) and extubation (31.0 min vs. 28.7 min, P = 0.025) were longer in Group B, and the grade of cough (0.33 vs. 0.43, P = 0.024) at extubation in Group B was lower than that in Group C (P = 0.024). The mean arterial pressure at the end of the operation (P = 0.004) and at 5 min after extubation (P = 0.008) was higher and hypotension was less prominent (0.6% vs. 2.6%, P = 0.030) in Group B.Conclusions: Preoperative intravenous injection of butorphanol decreased the incidence of EA after FESS, and provided smooth and haemodynamically stable emergence without extending the stay in post-anaesthesia care unit.Trial registration: Clinicaltrials.gov, NCT03398759.

Objective: To assess efficacy of functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) in treatment of postnasal drip (PND) as an ancillary procedure to Septoplasty with Turbinoplasty. Study Design: Quasi experimental study. Methodology: Sample size was n-200, Patients were placed in two groups Group A (n-126) had septoplasty with turbineplasty. Group B (n-74) included patients with Septoplasty and Turbinoplasty combined with functional endoscopic sinus surgery. Post operative results regarding postnasal drip were compared amongst the Two groups. Results: Data was analysed in SPSS-17, Septoplasty along with turbinectomy was performed in n-126 patients (group A). And septoplasty, turbinectomy along with functional endoscopic sinus surgery was performed in n-74 patients (group B). Post nasal drip was significantly reduced in group B at 3 months follow up (p<0.046). More significant difference was noted at 6 months follow up (p<0.003). Conclusion: Patients having Chronic rhinosinusitis with postnasal drip as predominant symptom, should undergo functional endoscopic sinus surgery as an ancillary procedure to conventional nasal surgery.

The advent of functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) has revolutionized the treatment of chronic sinusitis over the last decade. Although it has been well-established that FESS is more efficacious than conventional surgery, the lack of a quantifiable means of assessing results remains one of the major shortcomings of the technique, and hence a source of criticism. Since the pathophysiology of chronic sinusitis is intimately related to the mucociliary mechanism of the nose and sinuses, it seems logical to use this parameter as a yardstick of success. We undertook a prospective, controlled study of 40 patients and measured their “saccharin times” before and after surgery. The results show a marked reduction in clearance times postoperatively, corresponding well with improvement in symptom profile. We therefore propose this technique as a simple, safe and reliable method of assessing the results of surgery. Furthermore, the method could act as a preoperative indicator of ciliary motility disorders, as the prognosis in these patients is distinctly poor.

Twenty asthma patients who underwent functional endoscopic sinus surgery for chronic sinusitis were studied. Medical records and questionnaire data for these 20 patients were studied regarding the Impact of sinus disease and functional endoscopic sinus surgery on their asthma. We found that 95% reported that their asthma was worsened by their sinus disease (95% confidence interval, 0.74 to 0.99+), and 85% reported that functional endoscopic sinus surgery improved their asthma (0.60 to 0.97). Of the 13 patients who used both inhalers and systemic medication, 53.8% were able to eliminate some of their medication (0.21 to 0.79). Furthermore, 61.5% of these patients had a concomitant reduction in their inhaler use (0.28 to 0.85). All patients (six) who used only inhalers experienced a reduction in their inhaler use (0.54 to 1.00), and two patients were able to eliminate their inhalers completely. One of two patients who were steroid dependent was able to discontinue steroids after surgery. Of patients who used steroids intermittently (13), 53.8% were able to eliminate the use of steroids after surgery (0.21 to 0.79). Patients who required preoperative hospital admissions (4) and emergency room or urgent physician office visits (18) had a 75.0% and 81.3% ( p < 0.001) reduction in visits, respectively, after surgery. Because 43% of the cost of asthma is the result of hospitalizations and emergency department/urgent physician office visits, a significant Impact on health care costs can be realized with functional endoscopic sinus surgery in this patient population.

A total of 283 consecutive patients with chronic sinusitis underwent functional endoscopic sinus surgery. There were 72 allergic patients and 211 nonallergic patients. Data were collected on the effect of immunotherapy on middle meatotomy patency, synechiae formation, and recurrent polyps in allergic patients. Data supported the following conclusions: (1) Immunotherapy given either before or after surgery does not statistically influence middle meatotomy patency, synechiae formation, or recurrence of polyps after functional endoscopic sinus surgery. However, the data do suggest, for all three outcome parameters, that allergic patients who undergo immunotherapy do better than those who do not undergo immunotherapy and, with the exception of recurrent polyps, do as well as nonallergic patients. (2) The prevalence of preoperative polyps is the same for allergic and nonallergic patients in this study, but polyp recurrence is higher in allergic patients. (3) Approximately 40% of allergic patients who began preoperative immunotherapy stopped immunotherapy after surgery because their allergic symptoms resolved or were minimal. A comment regarding this observation is provided.
