Postoperative Treatment After Endoscopic Sinus Surgery

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Objective: Even though postoperative debridement is commonly considered as an essential part of endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS), the scientific data on the efficacy or the optimal timing of debridement is limited. In the present study, the effect of repeated debridement during the first week after ESS on the endoscopic and subjective outcome was evaluated.

Study Design: Open, prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial with two parallel groups.

Methods: A total of 90 patients suffering from either recurrent or chronic maxillary sinusitis were randomized into two groups after ESS. In the active group, the nasal cavities were debrided three times on the first postoperative week, while in the control group the patients were debrided only once on the 7th postoperative day. The primary outcome measure was the presence of scarring in the middle meatus at four weeks after ESS.
