Item Análisis de la evolución en pacientes con sinusitis crónica y el impacto en la calidad de vida postoperatoria: Una revisión bibliográfica(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2024) Valencia Ceron, Stephania; Ortiz Londoño, Geraldine; Parra Castillo, Liseth; Maldonado Rincon, Beatriz AlejandraChronic sinusitis is an inflammation of the mucosa lining the paranasal sinuses, causing bothersome symptoms such as nasal obstruction, loss of smell, and facial discomfort, significantly affecting quality of life. Although initial treatments include nasal irrigation, antibiotics, and corticosteroids, some patients continue to experience persistent symptoms, leading to consideration of endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). The methodology of this research involved an exhaustive search in different databases such as Google Scholar, yielding a total of 26 articles, 10 from PubMed, 1 from Sage Journals, 4 from Science Direct, and 8 from Springer, thus providing a wide variety of perspectives and studies for analysis. ESS stands out as the primary treatment for chronic sinusitis, aiming to improve ventilation and mucociliary clearance of the paranasal sinuses, offering a quicker and less painful recovery than other methods. However, studies show that disease recurrence is common, underscoring the need for long-term follow-up strategies and revision surgeries. Despite these challenges, ESS has demonstrated significant improvements in patients' quality of life, supported by ample scientific evidence. Evaluation tools such as the SNOT-22 questionnaire are crucial for objectively measuring surgery outcomes and understanding the disease's impact on daily life. In conclusion, ESS represents a significant advancement in chronic sinusitis management, providing patients with the opportunity to enhance their well-being and quality of life
