To analyze the long-term curative effect of endoscopic sinus surgery.
One hundred and twenty-eight cases (180 sides) of chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps were treated with FESS, 80 side (64 cases) were elected randomly to deal with the anatomical variation of middle and inferior turbinate and nasal septum during the operation (rectification group), comparing the curative effects with other 100 sides (64 cases) (contrast group).
Following up survey from 12 months to 24 months postoperatively, the curative effect in the rectification group was better than that in the contrast group.
Dealing with anatomical variation that influence the nasal cavity function in FESS can significantly improve the healing rate of sinusitis and ventilation function and decrease the adhesions rate.
