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.
