In-office endoscopic nasal polypectomy: prospective analysis of patient tolerability and efficacy.

Purpose: In-office rhinologic procedures have become popularised in the last decade, especially in North America. Endoscopic nasal polypectomy under local anaesthesia offers instant relief in selected patients with obstructive chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps. We aimed to analyse patient tolerability during the procedure while measuring its effectiveness.

Estimation of surgeons' ergonomic dynamics with a structured light system during endoscopic surgery.

Background: The purpose of this study was to use motion capture to collect body posture information during simulated endoscopic sinus surgery interventions performed by both specialists and residents in standing and sitting positions and to analyze that information with the validated Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) tool, which allows calculation of a risk index of musculoskeletal overload.

Methods: Bilateral endoscopic sinus surgery was performed in 5 cadaver heads by 2 residents, and 4 practicing rhinologists. Musculoskeletal symptoms were evaluated before and after the dissection.
