ABSTRACT

Recently, endoscopic procedure is generalized in paranasal sinus surgery.

We analysed the results of 233 endoscopic sinus surgery from August, 1992 through February, 1994 retrospectively.

  1. Nasal obstruction, rhinorrhea, posterior nasal drip, headache are common preoperative symptoms.

  2. About allergy, there was no significant difference between patients with nasal polyp and patients without polyp.

  3. The mean durations of symptoms were 17 days about headache, 24 days about rhinorrhea, 25 days about posterior nasal drip, 28 days about nasal obstruction. In children(< 15 years old), the means of postoperative symptomatic duration were significantly longer than those of adults(>15 years old)(p<0.05).

  4. Complications of endoscopic sinus surgery included postoperative pain, synechia, antrostomy closure, postoperative hyperthermia, in order.
