title: [Analysis of composite therapy and effect on 36 patients with nasal polyposis].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To observe the long term effect of composite therapy on patients with nasal polyposis.
  
  
  METHODS
  All 36 cases with nasal polyposis accepted antibiotic for a week and systemic corticosteroids for 3 days before operation, then underwent ESS. Systemic corticosteroids were used for 5 days and topic corticosteroids for 6 months after operation, then they were followed up by endoscopy for more than 3 years.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The symptoms were significantly improved after composite therapy. The effective rates of ventilation and headache were respectively 100% and 95%, the improvement of dysosmia is relatively poor. Catch cold and no use of topic corticosteroids can lead recurrence of nasal polyposis.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Composite therapy is effective in the treatment of nasal polyposis. Using antibiotic for a week and systemic corticosteroids for 3 days before operation, making use of systemic corticosteroids for 5 days and topic corticosteroids for 6 months after operation , and a reasonable regular following-up by endoscopy , a suitable and prompt postoperative treatment are indispensable to improve the effect of treatment.
