Radical versus Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery for Osteitis in Chronic Rhinosinusitis

Conclusions: There was no significant difference between the 2 groups in age, gender, and complicated with allergic rhinitis and asthma. The preoperative symptom VAS score and endoscopy Lund-Kennedy score were higher in the RESS group than in the FESS group, and the Lund-Mackay score and GOSS score were similar in the 2 groups. One year after surgery, symptom VAS scores, endoscopy Lund-Kennedy score, and Lund-Mackay score were significantly lower in the 2 groups. The endoscopy Lund-Kennedy score and Lund-Mackay score were lower in the RESS group than in the FESS group 1 year after surgery. RESS was more effective in reducing inflammatory load of sinuses in patients with osteitis in CRS.ORL
