Tubal Dysfunction

Background The symptom of eustachian tube dysfunction has been categorized as a “minor” symptom in chronic rhinosinusitis. The aim of this pilot study was to determine the frequency of otologic symptoms in patients with confirmed rhinosinusitis and the likelihood of its resolution in those patients undergoing endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). Methods Questionnaires were obtained from 168 patients who had undergone prior ESS over a 5-year period. Patients were asked to evaluate if they suffered from several different potential symptoms of eustachian tube dysfunction before ESS and whether that symptom changed postoperatively. Results Using the binomial test, 95% confidence intervals were determined for the following otologic symptoms of tubal dysfunction: “ear fullness and congestion,” “ear cracking and popping,” “dizziness,” and “ear pain.” ESS was found to have a significant treatment effect for the indicated otologic symptoms of tubal dysfunction. Conclusion Tubal dysfunction, as manifested by otologic symptoms, is common in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis undergoing ESS. The classification of this as a “minor” symptom of rhinosinusitis needs to be reevaluated. These symptoms improve or resolve in the majority of patients undergoing ESS.

Abstract Objectives Many experts feel that in the absence of well-defined goals for success, they have an easier time identifying failure. As success ought to not be defined only by absence of failure, we aimed to define optimal outcomes for endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) by obtaining expert surgeon perspectives. Methods A total of 12 surgeons participated in this targeted consultation. Face to face semi-structured interviews were performed with expert surgeons in the field of CRS and ESS. General impressions and personal definitions of acceptable operative success and optimal operative outcomes were compiled and summarized. Results According to an expert survey, patients’ main objectives are an improvement in their chief complain, a general improvement in quality of life (QoL), and a better overall symptomatic control. The most important aspects of endoscopy for defining a successful intervention were an adequate mucus circulation, a healthy mucosa, minimal edema, and patency of all explored cavities or ostia. In the assessment of surgical outcomes, it was determined that both objective and patient reported data must be carefully examined, with more attention given to subjective outcomes. Conclusions According to data gathered from a Canadian expert consultation, a definition of success must be based on both subjective data and nasal endoscopy. We propose to define an acceptable outcome as either a subjective improvement of at least the minimal clinically improvement difference of a validated patient reported outcome questionnaire, along with a satisfactory endoscopic result (1) or a complete subjective resolution with a sub-optimal endoscopy (2).
