The outcome of endoscopic sinus surgery: correlation with computerized tomography score and systemic disease

Abstract: We have prospectively analysed the outcome of patients undergoing endoscopic sinus surgery for chronic rhinosinusitis in relation to the Lund and Mackay system of scoring the preoperative computerized tomography scan for extent of disease, and also investigated the possible links of outcome to the presence or absence of systemic respiratory tract conditions which may relate to the pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis. Statistical analysis of the data by chi 2 test, unpaired t-test and logistic regression ana… Show more

“…The Lund-Mackay staging system, 18 summarized in the first Rhinosinusitis Initiative document, 1 represents the most widely established method of sinus CT scoring in clinical trials. 41,42 It scores each sinus area as 0, 1, or 2 depending on the extent of mucosal opacification present and also includes a score for patency of the ostiomeatal unit. Anatomic variants, such as absent frontal sinus, concha bullosa deformity, paradoxical middle turbinate, everted uncinate process, Haller cells, and Agger nasi cells are also scored with this instrument but would not contribute to scoring of a nonsurgical therapeutic intervention.…”

“…However, it is controversial if findings on the CT scan correlate with the reported severity of symptoms (nasal, facial, oropharyngeal) at the time of presentation or with the degree of symptom improvement after endoscopic sinus surgery [7][8][9][10] .…”

“…Lieu and Piccirillo [5•] identified 35 articles pertaining to the use of sinus surgery for CRS, with patient improvement associated with FESS ranging from 68.9% for good outcome [6] to 94% with at least 50% improvement [7]. Again, this group identified the lack of a control group as the most important reason that studies are unable to scientifically assess the comparative efficacy of FESS to medical therapy or other sinus procedures.…”
