OBJECTIVE: To determine if @entity11766 ( @entity11766 ) improves clinical outcome after pediatric functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). DESIGN: A retrospective review was performed for all @entity1 who had undergone FESS between January 1993 and December 1994. The @entity1 were divided into 2 groups: those who underwent @entity11766 2 to 3 weeks after FESS (n=94) and those who did not undergo @entity11766 after FESS (n=53). @entity1 with a history of @entity1577 , @entity236 , or isolated @entity50 were excluded from the study. SETTING: Pediatric tertiary care hospital. @entity1 : All @entity1 had a diagnosis of chronic rhinosinusitis, had failed medical therapy, and had subsequently undergone FESS. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The need for revision sinus surgery was used as the definition for poor clinical outcome, indicating that @entity50 recurred or was persistent. The number of @entity1 requiring revision sinus surgery in each group was compared. RESULTS: Revision surgery was performed in 20 of the 94 @entity1 who underwent @entity11766 after FESS. Revision surgery was performed in 10 of the 53 @entity1 who did not undergo @entity11766 after FESS. Six @entity1 in the "no-second-look group" underwent follow-up nasal endoscopy at some time after the initial FESS. There was no significant difference in terms of clinical outcome between the 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS: The rate of revision sinus surgery was comparable in those @entity1 who underwent @entity11766 after FESS and those who did not. The usefulness and application of @entity11766 need to be considered carefully.
