AI Article Synopsis
- The text discusses the surgical technique of functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS), primarily used for treating conditions like sinusitis and nasal polyps.
- It mentions that while much focus has been on FESS, other applications of nasal endoscopy have been overlooked.
- From December 1990 to September 1994, 725 patients underwent nasal evaluations and surgeries for a variety of reasons beyond just sinusitis and polyposis in their medical unit.
Article Abstract
Although much has been written about the surgical technique of functional endoscopic sinus surgery, for sinusitis and nasal polyposes, the other uses of the nasal endoscope has not been mentioned, Seven hundred and twenty five patients have undergone endoscopic nasal office evaluations and subsequent functional endoscopic sinus surgery for various indications in our unit from December 1990 to September 1994. Though most of the surgeries were for nasal polyposes and sinusitis, we have used the scope for various other indications.

Choosing between revision endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) versus biologic therapy for recurrent chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) is a complex, multifaceted decision that involves not only clinical and financial factors but also patient preferences. Currently, there are no quantitative studies investigating patient preferences for CRSwNP treatment options. Increased awareness of patient-centered approaches to treatment warrant further investigation.

Isolated sphenoid sinus disease (ISSD) is a rare condition that accounts for roughly 3% of all sinusitis cases. ISSD is predominantly caused by infectious and inflammation processes, with underlying fungal pathologies. This case series aims to illustrate the endonasal endoscopic management of different isolated sphenoid fungal pathologies.

There are no clear guidelines for deciding between endoscopic sinus surgery and tooth extraction for the treatment of odontogenic sinusitis. Furthermore, tooth extraction does not necessarily improve sinusitis and eventually results in additional endoscopic sinus surgery. The present study aimed to retrospectively investigate negative predictive factors of tooth extraction for odontogenic sinusitis.

Pulmonary involvement is commonly observed in anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV), presenting with manifestations such as diffuse alveolar hemorrhage, inflammatory infiltrates, pulmonary nodules, and tracheobronchial disease. We aimed to identify distinct subgroups of tracheobronchial disease patterns in patients with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) using latent class analysis (LCA), and to evaluate their clinical characteristics and outcomes. We conducted a retrospective cohort study using electronic medical records of patients aged >18 years diagnosed with AAV and tracheobronchial disease between 1 January 2002 and 6 September 2022.
