Objective.
The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of endoscopic sinus surgeons
on the control of disease in asthma combined with chronic rhinosinusitis. Methods.
Twenty-three asthma patients with chronic rhinosinusitis were evaluated
retrospectively. They were assessed with asthma control test and pulmonary
function tests. Subjective nasal obstruction assessment was done according to
the nasal obstruction symptoms evaluation (NOSE) scale. Other subjective
sinonasal complaints were classified using visual analogue scale (VAS). At postoperative
third month, pulmonary function tests, asthma control test, NOSE and VAS were
reevaluated. Results. According to asthma control test, number of patients
under control, partial controlled and uncontrolled were 2/6/15 preoperatively and
14/4/5 postoperatively, respectively. There was permanent or partial
improvoment in fullness in the nose sniffle of 95.7% according to NOSE. The
most remarkable permanent improvement in the symptoms were seen in the feeling
of pressure in the face of 75%, smell disorders of 66.7% according to sinonasal
visual analogue scale assessment. NOSE and VAS values were significantly
improved postoperatively (p <
0.05). Conclusions. Uncontrolled asthma associated with chronic
rinosinusitis can benefit from functional endoscopic sinus surgery in asthma
control level, nasal blockage symptoms and other sinonasal complaints.
