Brief Summary:
The goal of this study is to increase knowledge about how to treat patients after sinus surgery
Detailed Description:
Many surgeons consider the postoperative treatment after sinus surgery as important for the outcome as the surgery itself However postoperative treatment regimes differ considerably between surgeons They include non-intervention frequent in-office endoscopic debridement stenting of the middle meatus saline douching or irrigation of the nose or combinations of these measures in various ways The lack of consensus is unfortunate It indicates a lack of knowledge about how to treat these patients optimally after surgery This is partly due to a lack of internationally acknowledged randomised comparative prospective studies on the effects of the various postoperative measures and their interactions Accordingly some patients may receive a too intensive postoperative follow up with unnecessary frequent visits with the doctor unnecessary bleeding and inconvenience from unnecessary debridementcleaning of the nose and increased costs due to unnecessary medication Conversely there may be patients that receive too little attention in the postoperative period and thus may have a suboptimal result of the operation
Frequent cleaningdebridement of the nose after sinus surgery is believed to improve the outcome of functional endoscopic sinus surgery FESS However the scientific data on its effects are limited The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of cleaning debridement of the middle meatus 5-7 days and 12-14 days after sinus surgery in a randomized partly blinded controlled clinical trial
