Introduction: In this paper were verified the correlation between the results of the survey SNOT-20 and the results of the objective tests of nasal obstruction which are rhinomanometry and acoustic rhinometry before and after surgical treatment, such as septoplasty, septoconchoplasty, ethmoidectomy and septoethmoidectomy. Material and methods: The material used in this study was 233 patients diagnosed routinely in the Rhinomanometry Laboratory of the Department of Otolaryngology at the Medical University of Warsaw, reporting rhinological problems. Data were obtained from 70 women (31,4%) ranging in ages from 18 to 81 years of age and 153 men (68,6%) ranging in ages from 16 to 81 years of age. The researches presented in the study were made using the device RhinoMetrics SRE 2100 which combines the Rhinomanometer (RhinoStream) and Acoustic Rhinometer (RhinoScan) Interacoustics AS (Denmark). Survey SNOT-20 (Sino-Nasal Outcome Test-20) in Polish was completed by patients before surgery and during the postoperative control visits. Results: The calculated correlations between the objective parameter, which was the resistance to the flow of air through the nasal cavity , and the subjective feelings of respondents expressed in the survey SNOT-20 were generally weak, and statistical significance was achieved with respect to the first question survey (the severity of the nose obstruction) for all components of resistance flow. Discussion: The feeling of nasal obstruction is the most reproducible and reliable complaint reported by the patient with rhinological problems.

Wstęp: W pracy zweryfikowano korelacje pomiędzy wynikami ankiety SNOT-20 a wynikami obiektywnych badań drożności nosa – rynomanometrią i rynometrią akustyczną – wykonanymi przed i po leczeniu operacyjnym (septoplastyce, septokonchoplastyce, ethmoidektomii i septoethmoidektomii). Materiały i metody: Materiał do badań stanowiły wyniki rynometrii akustycznej i rynomanometrii oraz ankiety SNOT-20 wypełnionej przez 223 pacjentów. Wszyscy z badanych i ankietowanych byli rutynowo diagnozowani w Pracowni Rynomanometrycznej Katedry i Kliniki Otolaryngologii Warszawskiego Uniwersytetu Medycznego i zgłaszali problemy rynologiczne. Dane uzyskano od 70 kobiet (31,4%) w wieku od 18 do 81 lat i 153 mężczyzn (68,6%) w wieku od 16 do 81 lat. Badania przeprowadzono z zastosowaniem urządzenia RhinoMetrics SRE 2100, które łączy w sobie funkcje rynomanometru (RhinoStream) oraz rynometru akustycznego (RhinoScan) firmy Interacoustics AS (Denmark). Wyniki: Obliczone korelacje pomiędzy parametrem obiektywnym, jakim był opór przepływu powietrza przez jamę nosową, a subiektywnymi odczuciami badanych wyrażanymi w ankiecie SNOT-20 były niesatysfakcjonujące, a istotność statystyczną uzyskano w odniesieniu do pytania pierwszego ankiety (o nasilenie upośledzenia drożności nosa) w zakresie wszystkich składowych oporu przepływu. Dyskusja: Odczucie upośledzenia drożności nosa jest najbardziej powtarzalną i wiarygodną dolegliwością zgłaszaną przez chorych z problemami rynologicznymi.

During last decades Draf III procedure gained popularity in treatment of different pathologies of the frontal sinus such as chronic sinusitis or benign tumors. We present a series of 10 patients treated with this procedure from a 2 year-period. Indications included: chronic rhinosinusitis – four patients, frontal sinus mucocele – four patients (one with destruction of the posterior table), osteoma – one patient (stage 3 according to Kennedy’s grading system), and inverted papilloma – one patient (Krouse T3 lesion). Observation period ranged from 4 months to 2 years. Results: There were no early complications. Gradual narrowing of the created ostium was observed in all of the patients. This led to total obstruction in two, and stenosis (not allowing for passing with 4 mm endoscope) in another two patients. The patient after inverted papilloma removal showed no recurrence in 11 months follow-up. Conclusion: Draf III procedure is alternative for external approach that can be used for treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis and benign frontal sinus tumors of different size.
