  To analyze the long-term curative effect of endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS), and to study the factors related to the defeat of endoscopic sinus surgery.
  
  
  METHODS
  201 cases (353 sides) of chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps were treated with ESS, and were treated by taking the nasal cavity as a whole unit.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Following up survey from 12 months to 24 months postoperatively, it was found that 108 cases were cured (53.7%), 82 cases achieved symptomatic relief(40.8%), 11 cases remained failure (5.5%).
