Nasal Polyps after Sinus Surgery ( New Study )

Hình ảnh
In recent study, even when different parameters were used to measure postoperative outcomes, the trends in-dicated that the Nasal Polyps would maintain a stable course in most cases. The scores in postoperative care were not statistically different from each other. The mean Sinonasal Outcome Test 22 (SNOT-22) seen in this study were 61.5, 16.7, and 33.5, respectively.  The sharper drop seen in the  preoperative  to  recent  postoperative  follow-up period may have accounted for the statistically significant difference seen between early and late posto-perative follow-up scores, as late follow-up scores in this study were similar to the scores reported before. Statistically significant improvements in quality of life were observed two years after surgery, in addition to gradual deterioration after 4 months of surgery, although not statistically significant.Considering the late follow-up clinical management of Nasal Polyps, more than half of the patients were...

Nasal Polyps Surgery Success Rate ( New Study )

Hình ảnh
Nasal Polyps significantly affects the quality of life of patients. Nasal Polyps treatment aims to attain clinical control of the disease, which is defined as the elimi-nation or mitigation of patient symptoms to a point where subjects are no longer bothered by the disease, possibly in combination with a healthy or quasi healthy mucosa requiring only the administration of topical medication. The severity of symptoms and the impact of the disease upon patient  quality of life can be assessed through the Sinonasal Outcome Test 22 (SNOT-22). This validated tool encompasses all major symptoms included in  the  diagnosis  criteria  set  in  the  European  Position  Paper on Rhinosinusitis and Nasal Polyps (EPOS) 2012 for Nasal Polyps. The SNOT-22 is a repeatable tool and the graphic representation of test results allows for easy visualization of the outcomes of conservative and surgical approaches, as well as  exacerbations observed duri...
