dc.description.abstractBackground: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a pathogenic disease of infection commonly affected the ear, nose and throat. Chronic Rhinosinusitis (CRS) has a serious negatively impact over quality of life of patients. Quality of life, nature of job and environmental conditions are the primary reasons of spread of rhinosinusitis. Most of the symptoms of CRS are not life threatening but generally these leads to poor quality of life by affecting the efficiency of individuals. Methods: This prospective study was conducted in the department of ENT in tertiary care hospital among the 50 patients with clinical presentation, endoscopy examination and CT-scan changes of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) without a polyp. The history of the patients were taken and then the different ENT examinations were done like endoscopic examination of the nose and CT-scan imaging. All the surgeries like uncinectomy, middle meatal antrostomy, anterior and posterior ethmoidectomy, or opening of the sphenoid sinus were performed under general anesthesia with orotracheal intubation and hypotensive technique. All the patients were regularly given the postoperative antibiotic and nasal steroid treatments and reviewed regularly. Sinonasal Assessment Questionnaire - 11 (SNAQ-11) were used for the collection of data because this questionnaire contains 11 questions covering most of the symptoms of sinonasal diseases. Results: ‘Total 50 patients were included in this study among them 32 (64%) were male and 18 (36%) were females. All the patients was between 18-60 years among them 16 (32%) were the age group 25-35 years, followed by age group 35-45 years 14 (28%). The most common preoperative complaint of the patients was nasal obstruction (100%) patients, followed by nasal congestion (96%), facial pain (94%), running nose (90%), anterior nasal discharge (76%), and least complaint was sneezing (28%) and earache (28%). Conclusion: The study concludes, this study shows the significant outcome of improvement in the quality of life of patients in all the three subgroups of chronic rhinosinusitis which can be assessed by using SNOT-11 questionnaire. The Functional endoscopic sinus surgery performed in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis has statistically significant with the association of improvement in the QoL after twenty 24 month follow up. There is paucity of data so more studies are required to the scientific evidence gathered on the effectiveness of surgery offered to our population, as seen in studies performed in other countries.en_US
