A Prospective Single-center Cohort Study of Surgical Treatment of Chronic Rhinosinusitis

Chronic Rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a common and frequent disease in otorhinolaryngology. The main symptoms of patients include nasal congestion, runny nose, swelling pain of the frontal area and decreased sense of smell. Chronic rhinosinusitis refers to chronic rhinosinusitis with symptoms lasting ≥12 weeks and can be divided into two subgroups: chronic rhinosinusitis with and without nasal polyps. Chronic rhinosinusitis has a complex pathogenesis, there are three main pathogenic factors: infection, allergy and nasal and sinus anatomic abnormalities, these factors are often not a single existence, but often intertwined. In addition, environmental factors, genetic factors, osteitis, gastroesophageal reflux disease, respiratory ciliary system defects, systemic immune dysfunction and other secondary risk factors. For patients with chronic sinusitis, these symptoms, such as nasal congestion, runny nose, swelling pain and decreased sense of smell, often seriously affect their quality of life, and even evolve into more serious complications as the disease progresses. At present, the conventional treatment methods mainly include drug conservative treatment and nasal endoscopic surgery. Functional nasal endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is the main method of further surgical treatment for patients with no obvious effect of drug treatment. In FESS, the current emphasis is on removing diseased tissue and restoring sinus drainage on the premise of preserving the normal mucosa and physiological structure of the nasal and nasal sinuses as much as possible. Up to now, there have been many studies on surgical treatment of CRS, and the quality of the studies varies. However, in view of the postoperative efficacy and long-term prognosis of different subtypes of CRS, different treatment methods during surgery and different drug therapy regimens, our research group believes that it is necessary to accumulate a large amount of clinical data support through in-depth research and comprehens
