RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) is a common operation for patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) when medical therapy alone is insufficient. No randomised controlled trials on the efficacy of ESS have been published. We aimed to assess the efficacy of ESS plus medical therapy versus medical therapy alone in patients with CRSwNP. METHODS: We performed an open-label, multicentre, pragmatic, randomised, controlled trial in three tertiary care centres and 12 secondary care centres in 11 cities in the Netherlands (Almere, Amstelveen, Amsterdam, Blaricum, Den Haag, Deventer, Haarlem, Hoofddorp, Hoorn, Leiderdorp, and Rotterdam). Adults (aged ≥18 years) with CRSwNP and an indication for ESS were randomly assigned (1:1) using block randomisation (block sizes of six), stratified by study centre, to receive either ESS plus medical therapy or medical therapy. ESS was performed according to local practice, although anterior ethmoidectomy was mandatory. Medical therapy was prescribed at the patient's otorhinolaryngologist's discretion, and could be, but was not limited to, nasal corticosteroids, nasal rinsing, systemic corticosteroids, or systemic antibiotics. The primary outcome was disease-specific health-related quality of life (HRQoL) at 12 months of follow up, measured with the validated Sinonasal Outcome Test 22 (SNOT-22; where each item is scored from 0 to 5, where 0 indicated no problems and 5 indicates problems as bad as can be, with a total score of 0-110 points), and the minimal clinically important difference of the SNOT-22 is 9·0 points. Primary and safety analyses were performed on an intention-to-treat (ITT) basis. The ITT population comprised all patients who were randomly assigned to treatment according to their randomisation group and without any protocol violation. This study is registered with the Netherlands Trial Register, NTR4978, and is ongoing. FINDINGS: Between Feb 15, 2015, and Aug 27, 2019, 371 patients were screened for eligibility, of whom 238 were eligible, willing to participate, and randomly assigned to ESS plus medical therapy (n=121) or medical therapy (n=117) and 234 were included in the baseline ITT population (n=118 ESS plus medical therapy; n=116 medical therapy). 142 (61%) of 234 patients at baseline were men and 92 (39%) were women, and the mean age was 50·4 years (SD 12·7). 206 participants were analysed at 12 months for the primary outcome (n=103 in the ESS plus medical therapy group; n=103 in the medical therapy group). At 12 months follow-up, the mean SNOT-22 score in the ESS plus medical therapy group was 27·9 (SD 20·2; n=103) and in the medical therapy group was 31·1 (20·4; n=103), with an adjusted mean difference of -4·9 (95% CI -9·4 to -0·4), favouring ESS plus medical therapy. Adverse events were similar between the groups. The most common adverse events were minor epistaxis or gastrointestinal problems. No treatment-related deaths occurred, but one patient died due to congestive heart failure. INTERPRETATION: ESS plus medical therapy is more efficacious than medical therapy alone in patients with CRSwNP, although the minimal clinically important difference was not met. Long-term follow-up data are needed to determine whether the effect persists. The current results are a basis for further development of evidence-based guidelines.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Despite effective medical therapy and repetitive endoscopic sinus surgery in the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis, there still remains a small group of patients without improvement of symptoms. This study evaluates the effect of radical surgery on quality of life and pain in these patients with recalcitrant disease. STUDY DESIGN: A prospective, questionnaire-based study was conducted in 23 patients who underwent Denker's procedure for refractory chronic rhinosinusitis. Quality of life and pain were evaluated before surgery and 12 months and 2 years after surgery with the SF-36 and McGill Pain Questionnaire. RESULTS: Seven of the eight mean scores of the SF-36 postoperatively improved after surgery, with statistical significance for Role Physical (RP) P=0.048. Bodily pain showed a strong tendency to significance. Results of the McGill Pain Questionnaire show a significant improvement in most of the subscores after surgery implying less pain. CONCLUSION: Radical surgery improves the physical burden of chronic rhinosinusitis and pain experience in patients with therapy resistant chronic rhinosinusitis.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) is considered to be the golden standard for surgery in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis and nasal polyposis. However, there is still a small group of patients unresponsive despite repetitive surgery. Radical surgery aimed at reduction of the inflammatory burden and optimization of drainage of the sinuses has been suggested as a last resort for these patients. STUDY DESIGN: A prospective, questionnaire-based study was conducted in a group of 23 patients who underwent Denker's procedure for refractory chronic rhinosinusitis. Symptoms were evaluated before Denker's procedure and 12 months and 2 years after surgery. RESULTS: Patients reported improvement of feelings of congestion in 74%, rhinorrhea in 70%, and nasal obstruction in 60% of the cases. The following postoperative improvements were statistically significant: rhinorrhea (P = 0.001), feelings of congestion (P = 0.02), and nasal obstruction (P = 0.03). Reduced olfactory perception and asthma did not improve. CONCLUSION: Radical surgery may be a viable treatment option in case of recurrent ESS failure. EBM RATING: C-4.
