Patient Q & A Section
What is sinusitis?
It could be classified as an inflammatory disease caused by bacterial infection of the paranasal sinuses. The most common type of infection is acute or chronic sinusitis caused by bacterial infections. It can occur alone or associate with other illnesses.\n
What are the signs of sinusitis?
The signs of acute sinusitis include: facial swelling, tender or sore throat, pain or stiffness when swallowing, and a clear, foul-smelling or foul odor. Signs of chronic sinusitis include: tiredness, loss of appetite, shortness of breath or cough. Sometimes patients with acute and chronic sinusitis develop the same symptoms.
What are common treatments for sinusitis?
The three most common treatments for sinusitis are surgical debridement, antibiotics, and nasal sprays. These three treatments together account for more than 90% of all surgical treatments for sinusitis in the USA.
Can sinusitis be cured?
In a recent study, findings of this pilot study suggest that, although sinusitis can be eliminated by surgical debridement, recurrence can occur after surgical removal. This finding suggests that additional prophylactic modalities must be considered to achieve and maintain a cure of recurrent cases.
How many people get sinusitis a year in the United States?
The number of cases of sinusitis in the US in 2002 was about 8 million cases of acute, chronic, and subacute sinusitis and is in the range of other estimates of sinusitis in other countries. These cases of acute sinusitis are seen in a general internist's office on an outpatient basis. In a population where many adults have been smoking, at least 10% have chronic sinusitis and 40% have chronic acute sinusitis. Chronic sinusitis is more common, especially in the elderly. This is the largest estimate of the number of sinusitis cases, other estimates may have larger numbers, but similar distribution of demographic, smoking, treatment, and morbidity among the groups.
What causes sinusitis?
Most sinusitis is caused by nonodontogenic processes and may be managed without antibiotics. However, some sinuses are infected by bacteria and may require antibiotics. The presence of other factors that increases the risk of sinusitis is still not fully understood. These factors include smoking, allergies, and eosinophilic sinusitis. Treatment is usually by antibiotics such as azithrocyanide or penicillin, combined with steroids such as prednisone.
What are the common side effects of endoscopic polypectomy performed in clinic?
Endoscopic polypectomy in clinic can be performed with a low complication rate. The [common side effects]] are swelling [24.7%], vomiting [16.1%], and dizziness [12.3%]. The incidence of hemorrhage and perforation was significantly higher after [ERCP] in clinic, but this has been declining recently. The severity of the [proximal] bleed was not influenced by the technique.
How serious can sinusitis be?
Patients with chronic sinusitis should not be neglected. Sinus surgery should be considered for patients with symptomatic chronic sinusitis. The use of antiflagrans is a very good option in many patients with chronic sinusitis.
What is the primary cause of sinusitis?
The most common etiologic factors in this group of patients were H. influenzae and a viral etiology. The frequency of specific sinusitis type varied significantly between groups.
Have there been any new discoveries for treating sinusitis?
More research is needed to better understand and diagnose sinus diseases. The treatments available for acute and chronic sinusitis have not changed. Current research is also urgently needed to assess new treatments for those with chronic sinusitis and treat those who have never responded to any treatments.
What is the latest research for sinusitis?
The advancement in research has led to a better understanding and understanding of the etiology, pathophysiology, symptomatology, diagnosis, and management of this disease. All the information provided here will undoubtedly be helpful in improving the quality of life of all people with this disease.
What are the latest developments in endoscopic polypectomy performed in clinic for therapeutic use?
In clinical practice, patients undergoing polypectomy procedures for therapeutic purpose using the ‘cobra knife’ system had a higher risk of complications because of the difficulty of operating properly in the narrow space of the sinus cavity. The most recent developments in endoscopic polypectomy performed in clinics for therapeutic use are reported to overcome the difficulties of maneuvering under direct magnification in a limited space.
