Nasal Endoscopy Safer and More Effective for Chronic Sinusitis and Polyps compared to traditional open sinus surgery: Study
Researchers have found in a new study that compared to traditional open sinus surgery, nasal endoscopy offers a safer and more effective approach for patients with chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps. This enables successful polyp removal, sinus drainage, and reduced risk of surgical complications.
A study was done to research and examine the efficacy of nasal endoscopic surgery in management of chronic sinusitis with nasal polyps, as well as how it affects the likelihood of adverse responses. The collecting of samples was scheduled to take place between January 2020 and December 2022. The traditional surgery team consisted of 80 clients with chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps. Retrospective analysis of clinical information of two teams of clients with chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps who underwent surgery using different techniques, contrast of the surgical conditions, postoperative complications, recovery time, and postoperative pain scores between the two teams, as well as postoperative serum inflammatory factor indexes, immune function indexes, sleep state indexes, and quality of life grades of the two teams before and after.Results: The study team had procedure in less time than traditional surgery team(P < 0.05), and they experienced less intraoperative blood loss than traditional surgery team. The values in study team were lower than those in traditional surgery team in terms of overall incidence rate of postoperative adverse responses(P < 0.05). The grades of four aspects of quality of life in two teams after the operation greatly improved from those before operation. The grades of four aspects of quality of life in the two teams after operation greatly improved from those before operation, all P < 0.05. In contrast to conventional open sinus surgery, using nasal endoscope on clients with chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps can successfully remove polyps from nasal cavity, open sinuses, and lower risk of intraoperative problems.
