Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of repeated debridement on the efficacy of endoscopic sinus surgery(ESS). METHODS A total of 67 patients underwent ESS were divided into intervention group and control group. Debridement was performed at the 1st, 4th, 8th week after operation for the patients in intervention group, while once per week for the patients in control group. The primary outcome measure was visual analogue scale(VAS)and Lund-Kennedy endoscopic score(LKES). RESULTS Comparing the two groups on all domains of digital VAS and LKES at the 4th, 8th week after operation, there were no significant difference between the two groups. CONCLUSION Benefit of frequent debridement during the early postoperative period was no positive correlation with patients recovering after ESS. Therefore, in terms of subjective recovery and health care costs,appropriate extending postoperative management time and decreasing intervention frequency do not decrease the efficacy of endoscopic sinus surgery.
