Differences in Post-Operative Complaints between Patients with and without Anatomical Variations of Ostiomeatal Complex Based on CT Scan of Chronic Rhinosinusitis at Dr. Moewardi Hospital

Background : The ostiomeatal complex has various anomalous variants that can vary in type and number for each person. These ano­malies can contribute to the development of chronic rhinosinusitis and the accompanying symptoms. This study aims to determine the differences in post-treatment complaints between patients with and without anatomical variations of the ostiomeatal complex in chro­nic rhinosinusitis at RSUD Dr. Moewardi. Subjects and Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Dr. Moewardi hospital, Surakarta. A sample of 30 of chronic rhino­sinusitis patients who were subjected to a CT scan in the radiology department and surgery by an ENT-KL specialist at Dr. Moewardi, from January 2019 to June 2020, was selected for this study. The study variables were anatomical variations of ostimeatal complex and post-operative complaints. Difference of post-opera­tive complaints between chronic rhino­sinusitis patients with and without anatomical variations of ostiomeatal complex were described in frequency (n) and percent (%). Results: This study indicated that there is no difference in post-operative complaints between patients with and without anatomical variations of the ostiomeatal complex based on CT Scan of chronic rhinosinusitis (p= 0.856). Conclusion: There is no difference in post-operative complaints between patients with and without anatomical variations of the ostio­meatal complex based on CT Scans of chronic rhinosinusitis.
