The number of aged patients requiring nasal surgery for chronic sinusitis has been increasing as the population ages.A clinical study on the number of aged patients, complications and factors responsible for the increasing incidence of sinusitis was conducted on patients who underwent nasal surgery for chronic sinusitis from 1983 to 1990. Patients who underwent the operation from 1963 to 1970 served as controls.In the control group, most patients were 10 to 30 years of age. In the study group the number of aged patients had increased markedly and the distribution of patients was more equal among the age groups. There were many associated disorders, including cardiovascular disorders, lower respiratory tract disease, endocrine disorders and psychoneurotic disease. It is suspected that drugs used to treat hypertension or psychiatric diseases may aggravate chronic sinusitis, and diabetes itself may make it worse. Among aged patients, pathological change in the nasal cavity was marked, and the mucosa showed fibrosis, which was assumed to be irreversible. Nevertheless, the prognosis was good in aged patients.These results indicate that nasal surgery for aged patients with chronic sinusitis should be performed carefully and with a full understanding of the background factors.
