Résumé
Empty nose syndrome (ENS) is a poorly understood, debilitating condition affecting a minority of patients who underwent nasal airway surgery, most commonly following inferior turbinate surgery. Few publications have demonstrated middle turbinate resection (MTR) causing ENS, but MTR is still considered a potential cause of ENS. The Empty Nose Syndrome 6-item Questionnaire (ENS6Q) is validated for ENS diagnosis, with ENS6Q ≥ 11 considered highly suggestive of ENS. The purpose of this multicenter study was to determine the incidence of patients with ENS6Q ≥ 11 following subtotal MTR during endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) for chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) by comparing preoperative and postoperative ENS6Q scores. A multi-institutional prospective cohort study (8 US institutions) was conducted on patients who underwent bilateral subtotal MTR during ESS for CRSwNP. Preoperative and postoperative ENS6Q scores were compared after at least 12 months of postoperative follow-up. Of 110 patients, mean age was 51.6 years and 59.1% were male. Mean follow-up was 14.5 ± 2.5 months (range 12.1-22.3 months). Mean preoperative and postoperative ENS6Q were 7.7 and 2.2, respectively, demonstrating a mean 5.5 point decrease postoperatively (p < 0.0001). At final follow-up, no patient had an ENS6Q ≥ 11. Of note, 20% of patients had preoperative ENS6Q scores ≥11, but all decreased to <11 postoperatively. Based on prospective multicenter data over 1-2 years postoperatively, subtotal MTR for CRSwNP never led to ENS6Q scores ≥11, and patients experienced significant decreases in ENS6Q postoperatively. Subtotal MTR during ESS for CRSwNP was, therefore, unlikely to cause ENS even with long-term follow-up. 4 Laryngoscope, 2024.

BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
Empty nose syndrome (ENS) is a poorly understood, debilitating condition affecting a minority of patients who underwent nasal airway surgery, most commonly following inferior turbinate surgery. Few publications have demonstrated middle turbinate resection (MTR) causing ENS, but MTR is still considered a potential cause of ENS. The Empty Nose Syndrome 6-item Questionnaire (ENS6Q) is validated for ENS diagnosis, with ENS6Q ≥ 11 considered highly suggestive of ENS. The purpose of this multicenter study was to determine the incidence of patients with ENS6Q ≥ 11 following subtotal MTR during endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) for chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) by comparing preoperative and postoperative ENS6Q scores.
METHODS
METHODS
A multi-institutional prospective cohort study (8 US institutions) was conducted on patients who underwent bilateral subtotal MTR during ESS for CRSwNP. Preoperative and postoperative ENS6Q scores were compared after at least 12 months of postoperative follow-up.
RESULTS
RESULTS
Of 110 patients, mean age was 51.6 years and 59.1% were male. Mean follow-up was 14.5 ± 2.5 months (range 12.1-22.3 months). Mean preoperative and postoperative ENS6Q were 7.7 and 2.2, respectively, demonstrating a mean 5.5 point decrease postoperatively (p < 0.0001). At final follow-up, no patient had an ENS6Q ≥ 11. Of note, 20% of patients had preoperative ENS6Q scores ≥11, but all decreased to <11 postoperatively.
CONCLUSIONS
CONCLUSIONS
Based on prospective multicenter data over 1-2 years postoperatively, subtotal MTR for CRSwNP never led to ENS6Q scores ≥11, and patients experienced significant decreases in ENS6Q postoperatively. Subtotal MTR during ESS for CRSwNP was, therefore, unlikely to cause ENS even with long-term follow-up.
