Analysis between Endoscopic Sinus Surgery and Ostiodilatation in Patients with Chronic Sinusitis

Background: With symptoms such as nasal congestion and facial discomfort, chronic sinusitis, which is a persistent inflammatory illness that lasts for at least a year, becomes a considerable burden.Through comparative analysis for informed decision-making in the treatment of chronic sinusitis, this study evaluates the efficacy of Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (ESS) and ostiodilatation.The research takes into consideration the advantages and disadvantages of each technique.This study assesses the effectiveness of ESS and ostiodilatation in treating chronic sinusitis to make well-informed treatment choices.Methods: The prospective experiment compared ESS and balloon sinuplasty for chronic sinusitis was conducted at a tertiary care centre in India from January 2023 to December 2023.Oral methyl-prednisolone was standardized for all 100 individuals before surgery.Under general anesthesia, one group had ESS and the other had balloon sinuplasty.Patients received antibiotics and nasal wash post-surgery.Tomography and other follow-ups ensured medical continuity.The methodology allows a reliable comparison and provides vital information for chronic sinusitis treatment.Result: This study compares chronic sinusitis treatment with Balloon Sinuplasty with Classical FESS.According to the data, there are no discernible gender or age disparities between the categories.Overall, especially in Group 1, Balloon Sinuplasty shows superior results than FESS.It shows sinus condition scores with time, illustrating Balloon Sinuplasty's benefits.According to the results, it may be more effective than classical FESS in relieving chronic sinusitis. Conclusion:This study revealed balloon sinuplasty as efficacious as FESS for moderate sinusitis.
