Fungal sinusitis of the maxillary sinus

Abstract

The retrospective study included a group of 36 patients, 20 women and 16 men with an average age of 40 years in the period 2016— 2021, in which the diagnosis of fungal sinusitis was established and confirmed postoperatively with the postoperative surveillance period not less than 5 years. The patients were divided into two research groups. The first group consisted of 16 patients, aged between 24 and 58 years, who underwent the radical Caldwell–Luc maxillary sinus cure. The second group consisted of 20 patients, aged between 25 and 58 years, of which 5 men and 15 women operated by means of functional endoscopic surgery of the maxillary sinus. The comparative analysis of MSM treatment methods proved that both FESS and CL treatment methods show equal efficiency, they can be used in certain clinical situations at the discretion of specialists.
