The objective of the study was to analyse the role of computed tomography in the evaluation of outcomes of endoscopic operations in patients with different forms of chronic sinusitis. A total of 47 patients were examined using this technique including 26 after endoscopic treatment for polypous sinusitis and 21 after the treatment of chronic purulent sinusitis. The follow up period ranged from 2 to 11 years. It is concluded that computed tomography provides reliable spatial information about the inflammatory processes in paranasal sinuses necessary for comprehensive assessment of the outcome of endoscopic surgery for chronic sinusites. It is described as good in 2 (7.7%) patients with polypous sinusitis, satisfactory in 19 (73.1%), and poor in 5 (19.2%) patients. Good and satisfactory results were obtained in 9 (42.9%) and 12 (57.1%) patients with chronic purulent sinusitis, respectively; no poor results were recorded in this group. |
