Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the curative effect of endoscopic sinus surgery on fungal sinusitis. METHODS: The clinical and follow-up data of 30 patients with fungal sinusitis who underwent endoscopic sinus surgery were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS: Twenty-nine cases of non-invasive fungal sinusitis were cured by endoscopic sinus surgery; recurrence occurred in the 1 case of invasive fungal sinusitis two months after being treated by endoscopic sinus surgery and it was cured by lateral rhinotomy. CONCLUSION: The treatment of endoscopic sinus surgery is safe, effective, and less painful for patients with non-invasive fungal sinusitis.
