Abstract
Sixty nine patients with sinonasal symptoms were subjected to diagnostic endoscopy. Functional endoscopic sinus surgery was done subsequently for chronic sinusitis in 42 patients, for ethmoidal polypi in 18 patients and for antrochoanal polypi in 9 patients. A follow up of 18 to 36 months ( mean 27 months) reveals a success rate of 84% in the overall study, 81.5% in patients with chronic sinusitis alone, 87.5% in ethmoidal polypi and 100% in patients with antrochoanal polyps.
Key Words: Sinonasal, Functional endoscopic sinus surgery, Chronic sinusitis, Ethmoidal polyp, Antrochoanal polyp
