Abstract

Two hundred and ten patients suffering from chronic hyperplastic rhinosinusitis refractory to medical treatment were subjected to Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery using the classical Messerklinger technique ( MT FESS). Of these, 147 (70%) had complete relief of symptoms, 39 (18.5%) had partial relief of symptoms and 15(7.17%) had no/poor relief of symptoms in the follow-up period varying from 6-33 months (Mean 18.3 months). Sine (4.2%) patients were lost to follow-up. The merits and demerits of Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery are discussed.
