Abstract :

<p>&nbsp;INTRODUCTION</p> <div>The nasal airways and their closely associated paranasal sinuses are an integral part of the respiratory tract. 1 -5. A</div> <div>close association has been suggested between sinusitis and lower respiratory disorders like onchial asthma. It is known that chronic</div> <div>sinusitis coexists in as many as 40 &ndash;75 % of patients with asthma. Study done by Shaaban et al had shown that allergic rhinitis was associated</div> <div>with increased onset of onchial hyper responsiveness, and less chance for remission except in those treated for rhinitis⁶.</div> <div>AIMS AND OBJECTIVES</div> <div>The Aim of this study is to assess the extent of improvement in chronic sinusitis following surgical treatment in the form of ESS (either with</div> <div>microdeider or using conventional technique) and also if it can ing about a signi􀃶cant improvement in the pulmonary function tests of</div> <div>patients</div> <div>CONCLUSION</div> <div>1. In both methods after surgery, there was statistically considerable difference symptomatically in Microdeider assisted endoscopic</div> <div>sinus surgery than the conventional method</div> <div>2. In both the methods radiological score difference was good without any statistical difference. Hence both methods are equally good for</div> <div>clearing disease.</div> <div>3. In both the methods endoscopic score difference was good without any statistical difference. Hence both methods are equally good for</div> <div>clearing disease.</div> <div>4. There were no surgical complications in any of the method</div> <div>5. In both methods after surgery, there was statistically considerable difference in FEV1 values in microdeider assisted endoscopic sinus</div> <div>surgery than conventional method. Hence microdeider assisted ESS is considered better in terms of addressing coexistence of lower</div>
