Is routine histopathological examination necessary in functional endoscopic sinus surgery?

Abstract

Aim: Our aim in this study is to discuss the need for routine histopathological examinations of tissue samples obtained during functional endoscopic sinus surgery. Method: For this study, the data of 248 patients who underwent functional endoscopic sinus surgery at Mersin University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Otorhinolaryngology between 2019 and 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Results: When the histopathological examination results were evaluated, benign diseases were detected in 183 (90.6%) patients, malignant diseases were detected in 10 (4.9%) patients, and malignant diseases were detected in 9 (4.5%) patients. Conclusion: Routine histopathological examination may not be necessary in patients with bilateral paranasal sinus polyps and allergy related diseases.

Fonksiyonel endoskopik sinüs cerrahisinde rutin histopatolojik inceleme gerekli midir?

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmadaki amacımız fonksiyonel endoskopik sinüs cerrahisi yapılırken elde edilen doku örneklerinin rutin histopatolojik incelemelerinin gereksinimi tartışmaktır. Yöntem: Bu çalışma için 2019 ve 2022 yılları arasında Mersin Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Kulak Burun Boğaz Anabilim Dalı’nda fonksiyonel endoskopik sinüs cerrahisi uygulanan 248 hastanın dosya verileri geriye dönük olarak incelendi. Bulgular: Histopatolojik inceleme sonuçları değerlendirildiğinde 183 (%90.6) hastada benign, 10 (%4.9) hastada malignite potansiyeli olan ve 9 (%4.5) hastada malign hastalıklar tespit edildi. Sonuç: Bilateral paranazal sinüslerde polipleri olan ve alerji ilişkili hastalıkları olan hastalarda rutin histopatolojik inceleme gerekli olmayabilir.
