Abstract

An analysis was made of the incidence of polypous rhinosinusitis (PRS) in patients hospitalized in the department of Otorhinolaryngology of Vladivostok Clinical Hospital No. 1 for the period 2015–2019. The data obtained indicate that PRS is 1.1–1.6% of hospitalized persons. The largest number of treated patients are males 63% (n = 104), and females account for 37% (n = 61); the average age for men was 57.4±1.52, and for women, 57.37±1.76, while there is a trend toward an increase in the number of patients of working age whose onset of the disease falls from 18–46 years. Seasonality indicators do not have significant fluctuations. Three histological variants of polyps were distinguished. We divided the data of the histological conclusion of removed polyps into 3 types (edematous n = 60, allergic n = 63, fibrous n = 42) according to the morphological classification. The most common type of PRS in men is the edematous type of polyps 28% (n = 46), in women, allergic 18% (n = 30). Relapse of the disease is the most common problem in the postoperative period. The solution to this problem lies in dynamic observation, control of symptoms, and drug therapy. A number of patients require an interdisciplinary approach with the combined efforts of doctors of related specialties: otorhinolaryngologist, pulmonologist, allergist-immunologist, therapist, general family practitioner.
