Several reports suggest the effectiveness of endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) in asthmatic patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Whether ESS has a positive effect on the clinical course of asthma still remains controversial. The aim of this study was to investigate the outcomes of ESS on asthma in patients with coexistent CRS. Materials and methods: We performed a study to evaluate the effectiveness of ESS in 70 patients of CRS with associated asthma. The study compares changes in symptoms, medication and objective measures like pulmonary function in patients with persistent bronchial asthma and CRS before and after ESS. Results: Following ESS, there was an improvement in the mean asthma symptoms (wheeze, cough and shortness of breath) and asthma medication use. The number of emergency department visits and hospital admissions also showed a reduction postsurgery. Objective analysis with pulmonary function tests revealed an improvement in the predicted scores. Three patients with extensive polyposis showed poor improvement after surgery and needed revision. Conclusions: This study provides corroborative subjective and objective evidence that ESS is efficacious in the management of patients with CRS and asthma.
