A statistical study was made on 1502 cases who received surgical treatment for nose or sinus diseases between Apr.1974 and Dec.1990. Malignant tumor cases were excluded.
There were 999 males and 503 females, and they were most predominantly in their thirties (312 cases,20.8%).
Recently, the number of chronic sinusitis cases was gradually decreasing and the symptom of sinusitis became milder.
Therefore, the number of bilateral curative operation cases was decreasing and that of nasal cavity plastic operation cases, such as deviatomy and endonasal ethmoidectomy, has been increasing.
Polypotomy is a palliative measure but is useful for children and aged people.
Nasal allergy cases were increased in number and some of them had received deviatomy and conchotomy to alleviate nasal obstruction.
