FESS With or Without Intranasal Desmopressin in Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyps

Sponsor: Services Institute of Medical Sciences, Pakistan

Summary

Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps is a condition that causes long-lasting inflammation and swelling in the nose and sinuses and may lead to nasal blockage, nasal discharge, facial pressure, and reduced sense of smell. Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) is a surgical treatment used when medical treatment has not adequately controlled the condition. Bleeding during FESS can make it difficult for the surgeon to see and operate safely. This randomized controlled trial will compare FESS performed with and without preoperative intranasal desmopressin in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps. Patients will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. The intervention group will receive 20 micrograms of intranasal desmopressin 30-60 minutes before surgery, while the control group will undergo FESS without preoperative desmopressin. The study will assess intraoperative blood loss, quality of the surgical field, operative time, surgeon satisfaction, and perioperative complications. The study will include patients undergoing elective FESS at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Services Hospital, Lahore. The purpose of this study is to determine whether preoperative intranasal desmopressin can reduce bleeding and improve the surgical field during FESS. The findings may provide local evidence to help inform perioperative management of patients undergoing FESS for chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps.
