Abstract

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of septal deviations in CRS patients who underwent ESS treatment for sinonasal disease at the Department of ORL and HNS, Sisters of Charity University Hospital in Zagreb and compare the results to other studies. ----- METHODS: 108 CRS patients who underwent endoscopic sinus surgery in 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. We analyzed demographics, CRS phenotypes, septal deviation and types of surgical procedures. ----- RESULTS: From the 108 reviewed patients, 85 were diagnosed with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) and 21 were diagnosed with chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyposis (CRSsNP). 38% (41) of patients had a diagnosed septal deviation at the time of surgery. No difference was found when comparing the prevalence of nasal septal deviations NSD in patients with CRSwNP and the general population; however a statistically significant result was shown for patients with CRSsNP (52.38% as opposed to 32.70%). ----- CONCLUSION: We concluded that NSD could represent an etiological factor in a subset of CRS.

CILJ: Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je utvrditi prevalenciju devijacija nosne pregrade u bolesnika koji su podvrgnuti endoskopskoj operaciji sinusa kao dio liječenja sinonazalne bolesti na Klinici za otorinolarigologiju i kirurgiju glave i vrata, KBC Sestre milosrdnice, i usporediti rezultate s drugim studijama. ----- METODE: Retrospektivno smo analizirali 108 pacijenata operiranih metodom endoskopske sinusne kirurgije u 2018. Analizirali smo demografiju, fenotipove KRS-a, devijaciju nosne pregrade i tipove operacije. ----- REZULTATI: Od 108 pacijenata, 85 je imalo dijagnozu kroničnog rinosinusitisa s nosnom polipozom (KRSsNP), 21 je imalo kronični rinosinuitis bez nosne polipoze (KRSbNP). 38% (41) pacijenata je imalo devijaciju nasne pregrade u vrijeme operacije. Nije pronađena razlika u prevalenciji DNP-a u pacijenata s KRSsNP i opće populacije. Utvrdili smo statistički značajnu u prevalenciji DNP-a u pacijenata s KRSbNP (52,38% nasuprot 32,70%). ----- ZAKLJUČAK: Zaključujemo da bi devijacija nosne pregrade mogli predstavljati etiološki čimbenik u podgrupi pacijenata s KRS-om.
