Abstract

Current research has only reinforced the belief that chronic rhinosinusitis is a multifactorial and idiosyncratic disease process. Most basic science research on the topic focuses on delineating the many proposed contributing factors and attempting to establish therapeutic targets. In patients whose symptoms do not respond to medical therapy, endoscopic sinus surgery may be offered. Several surgical techniques have been proposed, and it would appear that certain techniques are ideal for certain situations. Recent clinical research has focused on the introduction of new technology and new techniques. Additionally, investigators have looked for ways to optimize current techniques and to determine which patient populations may expect to benefit from which types of interventions.

The penetration of Gastroview (Mallinckrodt, St. Louis, MO) contrast delivered by pressurized spray, Neti Pot, and squeeze bottle was compared in cadavers in the unoperated state with those having undergone complete endoscopic sinus surgery with uncinectomy, maxillary antrostomy, sphenoethmoidectomy, and wide frontal sinusotomy. Blinded assessment of distribution was determined by CT scan grading. Total sinus distribution was greatest after surgery (P<0.001), with even better total sinus distribution after medial maxillectomy (P=0.02). There was a statistically significant improvement in distribution with all devices, with the largest improvements in the frontal and sphenoid sinuses.PubMedCrossRef • Harvey RJ, Goddard JC, Wise SK, et al.
