Hypotensive Anesthesia with Propofol Infusion Pump: A Boon for Endoscopic Sinus and Nasal Polyps Surgery

Background: Successful outcome of endoscopic sinus surgery depends on complete visualization of the operative field and intraoperative control of bleeding. Major disadvantage of general anesthesia is the increased bleeding encountered, which can interfere with optimum visualization of the intranasal anatomy unless hypotensive methods are used. Objectives: To study the different anesthetic techn...

Long-term results of functional endoscopic sinus surgery in children with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps

BACKGROUND Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is rare in children and has a major impact on Quality of Life (QoL). Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) has proven to be an effective treatment, but it is still unclear what long-term outcomes are in children with CRSwNP. The objective of this study was to assess long-term results of FESS in children with CRSwNP. METHODOLOGY...
