Abstract
Introduction

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is the inflammation of the nasal and paranasal sinus mucosa persisting for at least 12 weeks. The success of endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) depends on minimising oedema and intraoperative bleeding. For this purpose, some surgeons advocate the use of preoperative systemic steroids (SS).

Our aim was to assess if the administration of preoperative SS in patients with CRS with or without nasal polyps (NP) facilitates the surgical procedure.

Methods

Non-randomized clinical trial is followed in CRS patients with or without NP. Patients in the ESS group received oral meprednisone preoperatively, whereas the control group did not. The visibility of the surgical field, intraoperative bleeding and surgery duration were recorded.

Results

Each group (SS group and control group) included 27 patients. The administration of SS reduced the values of all the parameters in patients without NP, with no significant differences. In patients with NP, only operative bleeding was reduced significantly.

Conclusions

Even though all the parameters decreased with the preoperative administration of SS, only operative bleeding was significantly reduced in patients with CRS with NP.

Resumen
Introducción

La rinosinusitis crónica (RSC) es la inflamación de la mucosa nasal y senos paranasales de más de 12 semanas de evolución. El éxito de la cirugía endoscópica nasosinusal (CENS) para su tratamiento depende de la correcta orientación anatómica en la región, para lo cual es vital la minimización del oedema y sangrado intraoperatorio. Con este fin algunos cirujanos consideran el uso de corticosteroides sistémicos (CS) preoperatorios.

El objetivo de este trabajo es determinar si el uso de CS administrados preoperatorios en pacientes con RSC con o sin poliposis nasal (PN) mejora las condiciones operatorias.

Material y métodos

Ensayo clínico controlado, no aleatorizado, en pacientes con RSC con o sin PN sometidos a CENS. Al primer grupo (CS) se le administró meprednisona por vía oral antes de la CENS. Los pacientes del grupo control no recibieron CS. Se analizaron campo quirúrgico, volumen total de sangre aspirada y duración total de la cirugía.

Resultados

Se incluyeron 27 pacientes en cada grupo. En pacientes con RSC sin PN la administración de corticoides disminuyó los valores de todos los parámetros en estudio, sin encontrar diferencia significativa para ninguno de ellos. En el grupo con PN solo fue estadísticamente significativa la diferencia entre el sangrado intraoperatorio.

Conclusión

Si bien los valores de todos los parámetros estudiados se encuentran disminuidos en alguna medida con la administración de glucocorticoides preoperatorios, solo existe una diferencia significativa con relación al sangrado intraoperatorio de pacientes con RSC con PN.
