One hundred three patients underwent endoscopic sinus surgery between December 1996 and April 1999 in the ENT clinic of SSK Istanbul Education Hospital. The present study included 61 patients, who had their post-operative checks made regularly. It has been shown that complete recovery rate was 75%, whereas partial recovery and recurrence rate was 25%. There were no complications with the exception of bleeding, which was successfully stopped, and a lamina papyracea defect. Functional endoscopic sinus surgery is a surgical method, which prevents anatomical structure and function from being damaged in chronic sinusitis, mucocele and polyps. Success depends on the characteristics of the disease, the right choice of patients, pre- and post-operative follow up and treatment. Therefore, it highly depends on patience and experience. |
