Description
Abstract
Aim: The current study set out to evaluate tertiary hospital-acquired sequelae after functional endoscopic surgery
(FESS).
Methods: The Present investigation was single-center, prospective, observational study, done in Department of
ENT. The study lasted for two years. The current study included 200 patients who met the study criteria during
the study period.
Results: The patients' ages ranged from 19 to 30 years old, making up 46% of the total, with those between 31-
and 40-years old accounting for 29%. More male patients (68%) than female patients (32%). For FESS patients,
the number of procedures done all at once ranged from uncinectomy (100%), middle meatal antrostomy (100%),
anterior ethmoidectomy (100%), posterior ethmoidectomy (76%), sphenoidectomy (32%), frontal recess surgery
(26%), and reduction of the middle turbinate (1%). In this research, endoscopy was able to successfully handle
the two significant problems that occurred, one of which was a cerebrospinal fluid leak (1%). After careful and
effective management, a small number of problems such as periorbital emphysema (3%), sinus infection (1%),
periorbital ecchymosis (1%), and synechiae (5%), which required treatment, were effectively addressed.
Conclusion: Although FESS has a low complication rate and is often a safe surgery, it does have the hazards of
any surgical intervention and serious problems may happen. It is one of the most frequently done procedures in
otorhinolaryngology.
