Endoscopic sinus surgery with and without computer assisted navigation: A retrospective study, Publication date: August 2019 Source: Auris Nasus Larynx, Volume 46, Issue 4 Author(s): Bruno Galletti, Francesco Gazia, Francesco Freni, Federico Sireci, Francesco Galletti AbstractObjectiveIn the last years endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) is improved with the introduction of computer assisted navigation (CAN). In this retrospective study we evaluated the usefulness of CAN in endoscopic sinus surgery and studied its advantages over conventional endoscopic sinus surgery.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed the records of 96 patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). 48 patients undergoing endoscopic sinus surgery with surgical navigation (A group) and other 48 without navigation (B group). Data about percentage of complications, olfactory function (Visual Analogue Scale), Sino-nasal Outcomes Test (SNOT-22), Rhinosinusitis Quality of Life (RhinoQoL), recurrence (CT Lund–Mackay score), total nasal resistance (rhinomanometry) and duration of the intervention were collected and analyzed.ResultsA group evidenced a decrease of recurrence rate (p = 0.009), a reduction of total nasal resistance (p = 0.007), of frontal recess stenosis (p = 0.04) and of nasal symptomatology (p = 0.008). QoL had a better improvement in group A. Rate of other complications and olfactory function did not show statistically significant differences between the two groups. The average calibration time was approximately 11 min in the A group. Total time of surgical procedure does not evidenced statistically significant difference between the two groups (p > 0.05) but if it is considered only the time of the surgical intervention, the difference of duration is significant reduced statistically (p < 0.05) in CAN surgery.ConclusionComputer assisted navigation in ESS can be useful for the most experienced surgeons, especially in the frontal recess surgery, decreasing the recurrence rate and reducing the total nasal resistance. |
