Gulati, Raman Wadhera, Arvind Kumar, Anshu Gupta, Ajay Garg, Anju Ghai] A considerable controversy surrounds the advisability and efficacy of middle turbinate resection in endoscopic sinus surgery. Some are in favor of middle turbinate preservation considering it to be important anatomic and physiological structure and others advocate middle turbinate resection as it improves nasal air flow and decreases synechiae formation. So a study was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of middle turbinate resection in patients of chronic sinusitis undergoing Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS). 40 patients of chronic sinusitis were selected and divided into 2 groups, group I undergoing FESS with middle turbinate preservation and group II undergoing FESS along with middle turbinate resection. Final results were recorded 6months after the operative procedure. 50% patients had relief in nasal obstruction in group I as compared to 88% in group II. Postoperative synechiae formation was seen in five patients in group I and in one patient in group II.
