OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of nasal function after @entity50 (Draf III) or the modified endoscopic Lothrop procedure (EMLP). METHODS: It was a prospective study with self-control. The pre-operative clinical data of 30 @entity1 (from 2010 to 2013, Beijing Tongren Hospital) who underwent Draf III surgery, with the testing results of T_T olfactory testing, acoustic rhinometry and rhinomanometry before and 1 year after operation in these @entity1 were collected in this study. All @entity1 complete @entity227 ( @entity227 ), a telephone follow-up questionnaire of olfactory function used by Wormald and Lund-Kenndy endoscopy score simultaneously with testings above. Most of 30 @entity1 were @entity102 ( @entity102 ) with recurrent @entity480 or systemic risk factors like @entity565 and aspirin-intolerance, called refractory rhinosinusitis. SPSS 19.0 software was used to analyze the data. RESULTS: 89.3% (25/28) of these @entity1 improved in nasal obstruction 1 year after operation, and the cure @entity35 was 57.1% (16/28, @entity227 = 0). The level of improvement in nasal obstruction was significantly correlated with pre-operative nasal obstruction severity (r = 0.909, P < 0.01). 76.7% (23/30) improved in olfactory function 1 year after operation in all 30 @entity1 , and 88.2% improved in @entity1 with @entity480 (CRSwNP). It was also found that olfactory function 1 year after operation was significantly related to Lund-Kennedy endoscopy scores (r = 0.671, P < 0.01), but was not correlated with @entity227 scores of nasal obstruction (P = 0.349). CONCLUSION: The @entity50 has a significantly positive effect on olfactory and ventilation function post-operatively, especially on refractory rhinosinusitis.
