[Effect of postoperative treatment on endoscopic sinus surgery].
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the effect of postoperative treatment on endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) and to discover the best way of care.


METHODS
We checked 54 patients who had undergone ESS and been followed-up.


RESULTS
7 cases (13.0%) were found with recurrent nasal polyps; 8 cases (14.8%) with recurrent sinusitis; 7 cases (13.0%) with adhesion and 10 cases (18.5%) with incomplete epithelialization.


CONCLUSIONS
A suitable postoperative treatment and reasonable regular following-up by endoscopy is one of the important segment for securing optimal long-term result.
