Abstract

Introduction: Endoscopic sinus surgery is a frequently performed surgery for sinonasal polyposis. This includes various complications such as Crusting and synechiae formation etc. which can be reduced or minimised by regular nasal douching and nasal toileting in immediate post operative period. Methods: This study was conducted to assess the quality of life using SNOT 22 score and the efficacy of Triamcinolone Acetate impregnated anterior nasal packing based on the Peri-Operative Sinus Endoscopic (POSE) score and Lund Kennedy score on short and midterm post operative outcomes in patients undergoing Endoscopic Sinus Surgery for sinonasalpolyposis. This study was a prospective observational study comprising of 80 patients diagnosed with sinonasal polyposis. Patients were divided into two groups with 40 patients in group A (non absorbable Triamcinolone Acetate impregnated nasal packing) and 40 patients in group B(non absorbable Saline impregnated nasal packing). Study setting: This study was conducted at a tertiary care centre in South India from July 2017 to July 2019 after EthicsCommitteeapproval. Results of this study showed Improvement in quality of life index in the postoperative period in both Group A (Triamcinolone Acetate) and Group B (saline). Lund Kennedy and Peri operative sinus endoscopy score (POSE) showed statistically significant results with better and early healing among Group A (Triamcinolone Acetate) patients. Conclusion: This shows Triamcinolone Acetate nasal packing in intaoperative period helps to reduce early post operative complications such as edema,crusting and synechiae formation.
