Partial resection of the middle turbinate during endoscopic sinus surgery for chronic rhinosinusitis does not lead to an increased risk of empty nose syndrome: a cohort study of a tertiary practice.

Abstract：

BACKGROUND:The treatment of the middle turbinate (MT) during endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) for chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) remains a contentious issue with arguments both for and against its resection. The purpose of this study was to examine the clinical impact of partial MT resection (PMTR) during ESS, paying particular attention to the risk of developing empty nose syndrome (ENS) and alteration to olfaction. METHODS:This cohort study was performed on prospectively collected data. A total of 177 patients underwent ESS for CRS; 93 had PMTR and 84 MT preservation (MTP). Preoperative data collection included subjective symptom scores as per the Adelaide Disease Severity Score (ADSS), Lund-Mackay scores, and nasal polyp status. The Empty Nose Syndrome 6-Item Questionnaire (ENS6Q) was administered by telephone consultation and analyzed alongside postoperative symptom scores. RESULTS:There was no difference in ENS6Q scores in patients who underwent PMTR vs those who had MTP. Patients who underwent PMTR had a higher baseline disease on Lund-Mackay scoring, and were more likely to be nasal polyp patients and be undergoing revision surgery. ADSS scores demonstrated significant improvements in all rhinologic symptoms, with no difference between the cohorts. CONCLUSION:PMTR is an adjunctive procedure to ESS. This study has established that PMTR as performed by the senior author carries no additional risk of developing ENS symptoms as defined by the ENS6Q, and that it carries no additional risk to olfaction or other rhinologic symptoms. PMTR can be safely considered at time of ESS, especially in patients at risk of lateralization of the MT.
