ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Balloon sinuplasty is a minimally invasive endoscopic procedure, developed with the aim of restoring patency of the paranasal sinuses ostia with minimal damage to the mucosa.

Objective:

To evaluate the effectiveness of balloon sinuplasty in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis.

Methods:

This was a prospective cohort study comprising 18 patients with chronic rhinosinusitis without polyposis who underwent balloon sinuplasty. Patients were evaluated for clinical criteria, quality of life (Sino-Nasal Outcome Questionnaire Test-20 SNOT-20]), and computed tomography of the sinuses (Lund–Mackay staging) preoperatively and three to six months after the procedure.

Results:

Out of 18 patients assessed, 13 were included, with a mean age of 39.9 ± 15.6 years. Ostia sinuplasty was performed in 24 ostia (four sphenoid, ten frontal, and ten maxillary sinus). At the follow-up, 22 (92%) ostia were patent and there was no major complication. There was symptomatic improvement (SNOT-20), with Cronbach coefficients for consistency of the questionnaire items of 0.86 (95% CI 0.73–0.94) preoperatively and of 0.88 (95% CI 0.77–0.95) postoperatively, the difference being statistically significant (p <0.001). In addition, there was marked reduction of the computed tomography signs, an average of 4.2 point score (p <0.001).

Conclusion:

Sinuplasty is effective in reducing symptoms and improving quality of life as a treatment option for chronic rhinosinusitis in selected patients. .
RESUMO

Introdução:

Sinuplastia com balão é um procedimento endoscópico minimamente invasivo, desenvolvido com o objetivo de restaurar a patência dos óstios dos seios paranasais com mínimo dano à mucosa.

Objetivo:

Avaliar a efetividade da sinuplastia com balão em pacientes com diagnóstico de rinossinusite crônica.

Método:

Estudo de coorte, prospectivo, envolvendo 18 pacientes com rinossinusite crônica sem polipose submetidos à sinuplastia com balão. Foram avaliados critérios clínicos, qualidade de vida (SNOT-20) e tomografia computadorizada dos seios da face (estadiamento de Lund - Mackay) três a seis meses após o procedimento.

Resultados:

Dos dezoito pacientes avaliados, 13 foram incluídos, com média de idade 39.9 ± 15.6 anos. A sinuplastia foi realizada em 24 óstios (10 frontais, 10 maxilares e 4 esfenóides). Após acompanhamento, 22 (92%) óstios permaneceram patentes, sem ter ocorrido nenhuma complicação maior. Houve melhora sintomática (SNOT-20) com coeficiente de Cronbach para consistência dos itens do questionário de 0,86 (IC95% 0,73 - 0,94) no pré-operatório e 0,88 (IC95% 0,77 - 0,95) no pós-operatório, respectivamente, sendo estatisticamente significativa a diferenca (P< 0,001) e reducão marcante dos sinais à tomografia, em média 4,2 pontos do escore (P<0,001).

Conclusão:

Sinuplastia mostrou-se efetiva para redução de sintomas e melhora da qualidade devida como opção de tratamento da rinossinusite crônica em pacientes selecionados. .
