Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) is now undoubtedly the choice procedure for the surgical treatment of chronic sinusitis and nasal polyposis after failure of medical treatment. Between January 1990 and December 1992, 51 patients with chronic sinusitis and 44 with nasal polyposis who underwent FESS were evaluated (170 ethmoidectomies). Preoperative evaluation is obtained through personal scaling combined with a CT of the sinuses, whereas postoperative assessment is based on the same scoring together with an endoscopic evaluation. Good functional results and no significant differences between the two types of pathology are obtained after a 1 year follow-up.
功能性内窥镜鼻窦手术（FESS）现在无疑是药物治疗失败后慢性鼻窦炎和鼻息肉手术治疗的首选方法。1990年1月至1992年12月期间，对51例接受FESS的慢性鼻窦炎患者和44例鼻息肉患者进行了评估（170例筛窦切除术）。术前评估通过个人评分结合鼻窦CT进行，而术后评估基于相同的评分以及内窥镜评估。随访1年后，获得了良好的功能结果，两种病理类型之间无显著差异。
