Analysis on therapeutic efficacy of different approaches for treating fungal maxillary sinusitis / 临床耳鼻咽喉头颈外科杂志

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To compare the response of simple endoscopic surgery and endoscopic surgery plus small windows through canine fossa surgery for fungal maxillary sinusitis.@*METHOD@#Twenty-five patients were applied the endoscopic surgery plus small windows through Canine fossa surgery as the treatment group, and the other 25 were applied the simple endoscopic surgery as control.@*RESULT@#During a follow up for 1-2 years, the effect of fungal maxillary sinusitis under endoscopic by dual approach is superior to simple endoscopic. There were obvious differences between the two groups(chi2 = 4.268, P < 0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#Endoscopic surgery plus small windows through canine fossa surgery for fungal maxillary sinusitis can fully expose maxillary sinus cavity,destroy the abnormal tissues completely, change the low oxygen environment, ensure the normal physiological function of maxillary sinus mucosa, and really achieve radical minimally invasive purpose.
