Abstract
Sinusitis has been suspected to be etiopathogenically linked to bronchial asthma. Asthma, on the other hand, has been reported to affect negatively the outcome of sinus surgery. The purpose of this study is to elucidate how sinusitis and asthma clinically interrelate, in a group of asthmatic subjects undergoing surgical interventions on the sinuses. A total of 43 asthmatic patients, selected for functional endoscopic sinus surgery, preoperatively had their sinus disease staged and their lung function tested, and were evaluated for allergy and aspirin sensitivity. One year after surgery the surgical results were analyzed, lung function was re-assessed, and patients' clinical status addressed through a questionnaire; and 93 nonasthmatic patients, whose functional endoscopic sinus surgery was contemporaneous, were used as a control group for the surgical results. Asthma was a critical factor negatively affecting the outcome of sinus surgery. On the other hand, sinus disease extension did not correlate with asthma severity at any stage. Sinus surgery, despite being capable of improving asthma, ultimately failed to produce significant change in lung function scores. Furthermore, consistent good surgical results on the nose did not c...Continue Reading
