Very little work has been published in literature about the long-term results of endoscopic sinus surgery especially with substantial numbers. A cross-sectional study was performed of patient satisfaction following endoscopic sinus surgery over a mean period of 9.8 years, of 155 patients. A variety of nasal symptoms were assessed and interesting data was recorded in relation to abatement of symptoms related to nasal and systemic allergy. Overall 94% of patients were satisfied with functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) in relieving various nasal symptoms and a statistically significant number showed improvement in allergic symptoms. Our series has the longest follow-up with the largest patient group recorded in literature.

Purpose: To evaluate and compare hospital related costs, postoperative costs, and the long-term costs of maxillary balloon sinuplasty (BSP) and middle meatal antrostomy (MMA) in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis.
Methods: Data were collected from patient registers on 88 patients treated with BSP and 240 patients treated with MMA between 2011 and 2017. Information was also gathered on the related costs of surgery, material, postoperative ward care, and any extra patient visits that took place within one year following the operation.

Over the past 35 years, pediatric endoscopic sinus surgery (PESS) has significantly evolved from its inception as a novel intervention to become a cornerstone in the management of pediatric sinus disorders. This evolution is reflective of a broader shift towards a more nuanced understanding and treatment of pediatric chronic rhinosinusitis (PCRS), marked by the introduction of comprehensive guidelines and the refinement of surgical indications. Recent literature and the extensive experience of the senior author, who has been at the forefront of utilizing PESS since its inception, highlight a noticeable shift in the procedure's utilization.
