ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the effect of revision endoscopic sinus surgery (RESS) on quality of life in the patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polypsis (CRSwNP).Method:To survey and evaluate 60 cases of RESS patiens (treatment group) and 120 normal ones with physical examination (Control group) through the medical outcomes survey short form questions (MOS SF-36) and the Sino-Nasal Outcome Test-20 (SNOT-20), and comparison and analysis of the two groups results which we got were carried out.Result:With SF-36 scales for evaluation of quality of life, the results show that: the scores of CRSwNP patients (treatment group) without surgical treatments with RESS were significantly lower than that of the control group(P0.05 ).Conclusion:RESS may obviously improve the clinical symptom of CRSNP patients. The SF-36 and SNOT-20 assessment scales could reflect the patient's QoL change.
