Objectives:
The aim of this study is to understand the quality of endoscopic sinus
surgery (ESS) training given to residents in our clinic and to compare
the complications of surgery performed by residents and specialists. Methods:
We reviewed the video records, patient’s charts and control findings
of 132 patients who underwent ESS at the department of
Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery of Sisli Etfal Teaching and
Training Hospital between May 2001 and December 2004 retrospectively.
The complication types and rates were compared by combining the surgical
team (specialist-third year resident) and diagnosis. Surgeries done by
third year resident were limited to ESS. The complications were
separated into two groups as major and minor. Results:
In this study 16.7% of the 132 cases presented by minor complications
and no major complications were observed. The complication rates of the
specialist and the third year resident under supervision were 17.8% and
14.3%, respectively. There were no significant difference between the
complication rates of the specialist and third year resident. Conclusion: ESS has emerged to be superior treatment for chronic sinusitis in the last decade. We suggest that minimal functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) in Otolaryngology residency training program is a relatively safe procedure when it is performed under supervision. |
