dc.description.abstractPurpose: To reveal the role of potential risk factors in frontal recess dissection (FRD), middle turbinate resection (MTR), sinonasal polyposis, and extension of disease in postoperative frontal sinus opacification by determining radiologic changes after endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) in symptomatic cases using computed tomography (CT). Study Design: Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from symptomatic patients after ESS. Methods: Postoperative CT scans were taken in all symptomatic patients during their least symptomatic period or after maximal medical therapy. The radiologic findings of each sinus were compared, and the outcome of ESS was statistically evaluated. Furthermore, FRD, MTR, sinonasal polyposis, and extension of disease were analyzed for postoperative frontal sinus opacification. Results: In our study, 101 sinuses of 61 symptomatic patients were examined. A significant improvement in opacification in all sinuses was detected postoperatively. Multivariate analysis of all potential risk factors revealed that postoperative frontal sinus opacification was affected only by sinonasal polyposis (odds ratio [OR] 3.32; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.04-10.58) and extension of disease (OR 16.93; 95% CI 4.33-66.23). Conclusions: Our study revealed that surgical procedures such as FRD and/or MTR may not directly affect postoperative frontal sinus opacification. On the contrary, sinonasal polyposis and extension of disease seemed to be the main risk factors of this issue.
