@entity1179 may affect the (para)nasal cavity. While some of these @entity1185 can undergo malignant transformation, others grow slowly and cause few if any symptoms. An endoscopic approach is seen as providing a balance between the greatest removal possible and avoiding unnecessary morbidity. However, the actual long-term quality of life of @entity1 having undergone surgery for @entity1179 has never been studied. Our primary aim is to assess the long-term sequelae and the quality of life of @entity1 after endoscopic surgery of sinonasal @entity1179 . The secondary aim is to establish which nasal symptoms, if any, are the most prevalent before and after surgery. We used the SNOT-22 questionnaire to assess the quality of life of @entity1 who had undergone endoscopic surgery for sinonasal @entity1179 between 2000 and 2011. Twenty-seven out of 34 @entity1 returned the questionnaire (79  % response rate). Median follow-up was 6  years (range 1-10). Mean age was 58.9  years (range 40-85). Median SNOT-22 score was 12, while the most frequent postoperative symptom was the need to blow the nose (18 @entity1 ) and the most frequent preoperative symptom was nasal obstruction. @entity1 after endoscopic removal of sinonasal @entity1179 return to an almost normal quality of life, as measured by the disease-specific questionnaire SNOT-22. The most frequent symptom was the need to blow the nose.
