Introduction: Endoscopic sinus surgery being an approach, there is no proper classification system to address the extent of surgery required for Sino nasal pathologies. This study is attempting to propose and evaluate the role and efficacy of classification system for the endoscopic sinus surgery in addressing various Sino nasal and skull base pathologies.
Materials and Methods: It’s a prospective study included 50 patients. we classified ESS in to 6 types based on the extent of surgery. After thorough evaluation depending on the extent of the disease all the 50 patients were planned and treated according to the classification. Patients were followed for 1 year.
Results: Average symptom score improvement was 95.6 % in all the 50 patients we treated. Only in 2 case we deviated from the pre-planned procedure.
Conclusion: So, the current study with the analysis of the technique and results supports this classification of endoscopic sinus surgery in to six types can be useful but may require a multi-centre study for further evaluation.
