ABSTRACT

Background and Objectives: Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) is an effec- tive treatment for chronic sinusitis and nasal polyposis. But during opera- tion, foggy or contaminated endoscopic lenz takes long time for operation to clean lenz. To solve this problem, the Endoscrub® has been used from the 1990s. It dramatically improved visualization and reduced operation ti- me during surgery. This study is aimed at evaluating the effect of the Endo- scrub® on operation time required for ESS. Materials and Methods: We investigated operation time in 60 patients underwent both ESS for chronic rhinosinusitis. We perfomed ESS using Endoscrub® on side and not using Endoscrub® on the other side. The operation time was then compared with the preoperative computed tomographic staging and surgery scores. Results: The time requirement for ESS by using Endoscrub®, operation time were much lower in using Endoscrub® group than not using Endoscrub® group. Conclusion: The Endoscrub® is a very useful instrument for ESS and it can reduce operation time during ESS. (J Clinical Otolaryngol 2013;24:214–218)
