Post-operative evaluation of functional endoscopic sinus surgery with computed tomography. 1994

Department of Otolaryngology, University Hospital, Trondheim, Norway.

Fifty consecutive patients underwent functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FES) for bilateral rhinosinusitis. Pre- and post-operative computerized tomographic scans were evaluated. Of 50 patients, 45 (90%) experienced improvement in symptoms. Post-operative scans gave less encouraging results, with a slightly improved score for the combined group of sinuses and for the ethmoidal and maxillary sinuses separately. The difference between the pre- and post-operative CT score for the ethmoidal sinuses was statistically significant. The frontal sinus showed similar pre- and post-operative radiological findings. For the inexperienced surgeon we recommend computer tomographic examination 4-6 months after surgery. This could prove helpful if recurrence of symptoms occurs. For the experienced surgeon, clinical and endoscopic follow-up for at least 3 years is appropriate.

D004724 Endoscopy Procedures of applying ENDOSCOPES for disease diagnosis and treatment. Endoscopy involves passing an optical instrument through a small incision in the skin i.e., percutaneous; or through a natural orifice and along natural body pathways such as the digestive tract; and/or through an incision in the wall of a tubular structure or organ, i.e. transluminal, to examine or perform surgery on the interior parts of the body.
