目的比较不同鼻内镜下手术方法治疗变应性鼻炎(AR)伴鼻中隔偏曲的效果。方法将2014年12月至2017年1月间中山市小榄人民医院诊治的100例AR伴鼻中隔偏曲患者根据随机数表法分为观察组和对照组各50例,观察组行鼻内镜下鼻中隔黏膜下切除术...目的比较不同鼻内镜下手术方法治疗变应性鼻炎(AR)伴鼻中隔偏曲的效果。方法将2014年12月至2017年1月间中山市小榄人民医院诊治的100例AR伴鼻中隔偏曲患者根据随机数表法分为观察组和对照组各50例,观察组行鼻内镜下鼻中隔黏膜下切除术联合下鼻甲黏膜下海绵体部分切除术,对照组行常规鼻内镜下鼻中隔黏膜下切除术,比较两组患者术后1个月的疗效及并发症发生情况。结果观察组和对照组患者术后症状积分[(1.32±0.36)分vs(1.61±0.39)分]和体征积分[(1.24±0.27)分vs (1.87±0.43)分]比较,观察组均明显低于对照组,差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05);观察组和对照组患者术后糖精清除率[(16.32±2.16) min vs (17.61±2.25) min]、鼻腔阻力[(0.30±0.09) kPa/(L·s) vs (0.47±0.11) k Pa/(L·s)]比较,观察组均明显低于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);观察组患者的治疗总有效率为94.0%,明显高于对照组的84.0%,差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05);观察组患者术后并发症发生率为2.0%,略低于对照组的10.0%,但差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。结论鼻内镜下鼻中隔黏膜下切除术联合下鼻甲黏膜下海绵体部分切除术治疗AR伴鼻中隔偏曲可显著改善患者临床症状,效果优于单独鼻中隔黏膜下切除术。展开更多
