Abstract
Conventional sinus surgical techniques which were used to treat chronic sinusitis as antral lavage, external, intranasal and transantral ethmoidectomy, external frontal sinus surgery and the Caldwell-Luc procedure were recently substituted by the use of nasoendoscopy. This is due to technical advances in endoscopic systems and the respect of the importance of normal sinus function of mucociliary flow and ventilation through the anatomical ostia.

It is usually utilized as patients’ emotional, social and physical well-being, including their ability to function in the ordinary tasks of living.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the outcome of FESS in patients’ symptom profile and quality of life according to SNOT22 in non-psychic patients, above 25 years old and who did not undergo a previous sinus surgery.
