OBJECTIVES: To compare the quality of life (QOL) outcome and incidence of complications following image-guided versus non-image-guided endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS).STUDY DESIGN: The operative, office, and hospital charts of patients who underwent primary ESS for chronic sinusitis by a single surgeon with (2002-2005) or without (1997-2002) image guidance were reviewed for patient demographics, incidence of complications, and revision procedures. A telephone survey was used to administer the QOL survey to both cohorts.RESULTS: In comparing patients who underwent image-guided (60) versus non-image-guided surgery (179), respectively, there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of major intraoperative complications (6.6% vs 5.6%), major postoperative complications (5% vs 3.9%), revision procedures (6.6% vs 7.3%), and postoperative SNOT-20 symptom scores (23.6 vs 23.4). A higher incidence of intraoperative cerebrospinal fluid leak was noted in the non-image-guided group (0% vs 2.2%).CONCLUSIONS: Our study does not demonstrate an improvement in the incidence of complications, need for revision procedures, or quality-of-life outcome for patients undergoing primary ESS for chronic sinusitis. The use of image guidance may result in a lower incidence of skull base trauma and cerebrospinal fluid leak.
