The Role of Second-Look Nasal Endoscopy After Pediatric Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery

Abstract: The rate of revision sinus surgery was comparable in those patients who underwent SLE after FESS and those who did not. The usefulness and application of SLE need to be considered carefully.

“…Opponents argue that it adds morbidity to these children and that the risks may outweigh the beneWts. A study found that the rate of revision surgery was the same (at roughly 20%) whether the second-look procedure was or was not performed [19]. Proponents [20] argued that granulation and debris can be cleaned from the sinus cavity and adhesions can be lysed.…”

“…Theoretic concerns with adverse effects on facial growth [57] have not been substantiated in human trials [58,59]. Second-look endoscopy is unnecessary [60], although maximum medical therapy (see above) should be continued for several weeks after ESS. Reasonable caregiver expectations are essential-parents and children should expect an improvement, but not a cure.…”

“…Essa escolha é determinada pela necessidade de realização do exame nasofibroscópico no diagnóstico e seguimento dos casos, assim como pela avaliação seqüencial quanto à indicação cirúrgica. A periodicidade de avaliações no seguimento dos pacientes será individualizada de acordo com as manifestações patológicas de cada criança 114 . A interação, através da multidisciplinaridade, entre o pediatra, o otorrinolaringologista, o radiologista especializado e, muitas vezes, imunologista, é fundamental, do diagnós-tico ao seguimento, para complementação e compatibilizações das informações.…”

“…Por todas essas razões, a cirurgia das cavidades paranasais deve ser sempre precedida pela nasofibroscopia. A repetição do exame é freqüente nos pacientes com sinusites crônicas submetidos à cirurgia para avaliação do resultado e eventual indicação de reintervenções 113,114,116 . Pela especificidade do equipamento e da técnica, a nasofibroscopia deve ser realizada apenas por profissionais especializados.…”
