Effect of functional endoscopic sinus surgery on asthma control with nasal polyposis and chronic rhinosinusitis

Objectives. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of endoscopic sinus surgeons on the control ofdisease in asthma combined with chronic rhinosinusitis. Methods. Twenty-three asthma patients with chronicrhinosinusitis were evaluated retrospectively. They were assessed with asthma control test and pulmonaryfunction tests. Subjective nasal obstruction assessment was done according to the nasal obstruction symptomsevaluation (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 werereevaluated. Results. According to asthma control test, number of patients under control, partial controlled anduncontrolled were 2/6/15 preoperatively and 14/4/5 postoperatively, respectively. There was permanent orpartial improvoment in fullness in the nose sniffle of 95.7% according to NOSE. The most remarkablepermanent improvement in the symptoms were seen in the feeling of pressure in the face of 75%, smelldisorders of 66.7% according to sinonasal visual analogue scale assessment. NOSE and VAS values weresignificantly improved postoperatively (
