Article Synopsis
- Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) involves ongoing inflammation in the nasal areas, with leukocytes playing a key role in this process; endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) is often performed when other treatments fail, yet the impact of maxillary sinus ostium enlargement is not fully understood.
- A study with 23 CRS patients examined the effects of two surgical methods on mucosal eosinophils and endothelial L-selectin ligands, revealing a significant correlation between the number of eosinophils and postoperative symptom scores primarily on the side where the sinus ostium was enlarged.
- The findings suggest that ESS can reduce endothelial L-selectin ligand expression and eosinophil presence in the maxillary sinus, indicating that fewer eosinophils
