Evaluation of effectiveness of single-stage septoplasty during endoscopic rhinosinus surgery in children
Russian Otorhinolaryngology(2021)
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to analyze results of simultaneous septoplasty and functional endoscopic sinus surgery in children. The study included 341 children who underwent endoscopic functional sinus surgery. The average age of patients was 11.2 ± 0.4 years. The follow – up period was 33.06 ± 6.9 months. Endoscopic septoplasty was performed simultaneously with FESS (functional endoscopic sinus surgery) in 72 children (21.1%). A comparative analysis of the results of FESS and endoscopic septoplasty showed a statistically significant association for 15 indicators on the SNOT 20 scale (p < 0.05). Significant differences were found both in general symptoms: sleep disturbance, cough, irritability, dizziness, decreased concentration, fatigue, emotional depression, sadness, grief, and local: nasal obstruction, post-nasal drip, hyposmia, mucosal edema, secretory otitis media, rhinorrhea, dry throat. Correlation analysis of the results of FESS and endoscopic septoplasty in relation to the child’s age did not reveal statistically significant differences: chi2 = 3.42 p = 0.33. The results of the study showed the efficacy of single-stage septoplasty when performing endoscopic rhinosinus surgery in childhood in improving local and general symptoms and a low degree of complications in the postoperative period.
