title: [The treatment of polypous suppurative rhinosinusitis in the patients presenting with the severe and moderate aspirin triad].
abstract: The present study inluded 22 patients presenting either with very severe or moderately severe aspirin triad 17 of whom suffered exacerbation of chronic polypous suppurative rhinosinusitis. The reference group comprised 10 patients with exacerbation of chronic polypous suppurative rhinosinusitis in the absence of concomitant bronchial asthma. The control group included 25 practically healthy subjects having neither chronic somatic diseases nor ENT organ pathology. Conventional otorhinolaryngological examination of the patients was supplemented by cytological studies of the secretion from maxillary sinuses (MS) and inranasal mucosa, measurement of viscosity and pH of MS secretion. It was shown that eosinophil count in the MS secretion was several-fold higher than that in the secretion from nasal cavity mucosa . Polypotomy in the nasal cavity was performed after the preoperative treatment of the patients using sparing procedures, such as laser irradiation and a radiofrequency loop. This approach allowed to reduce the probability of enhancement of bronchial resistance during surgery and in the immediate postoperative period; moreover, it made it possible to continue puncture therapy of patients experiencing exacerbation of the chronic inflammatory process in the maxillary sinuses.
