The Clinical Outcome of Image-Guided System in Endoscopic Sinus Surgery for Chronic Rhinosinusitis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Although image-guided system (IGS) is considered useful in endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS), its impact on clinical outcomes needs further evaluation. This study aimed to compare clinical outcomes in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) undergoing ESS with or without IGS.

Data sources

Two independent reviewers searched PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane, CNKI, WanFang, and VIP to identify comparative clinical studies on clinical outcomes of ESS with or without IGS.

Methods

The primary outcome were total complications. Secondary outcomes were recurrence, revision surgery, blood loss, surgical time, and patient-reported outcomes. A meta-analysis was performed to calculate odds ratios (OR) and weighted mean difference (WMD).

Results

A total of 16 studies were
