Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effects of different surgical procedures on allergic fungal sinusitis. Methods: Thirty-one patients with allergic fungal sinusitis under endoscopic sinus surgery(24 cases) and Caldwell-Luc operation( 7 cases) after medical treatment were investigated. Results: No complication was observed during one year's follow-up. No patient who conducted endoscopic sinus surgery reacurred and 3 patients who received traditional surgery required a second operation. Conclusion: This confirmed endoscopic sinus surgery provided a minl-traumatic and effective treatment. Combined treatment of surgical and medical ways was useful to the development of allergic fungal sinusitis.
