Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Being a frequently used approach by otorhinolaryngologists, Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) has been useful in the surgical management of different sinonasal conditions in this era. Although ESS is most commonly performed for inflammatory and infectious sinus diseases since its introduction in the 1960s by Prof. Messserklinger and Wigand, the current advancement in instrumentation has led to an increase in its indications. This study therefore aimed at auditing the ESS done at a tertiary hospital in our settings.
UNASSIGNED: This was a retrospective descriptive cross-sectional study which was conducted at Muhimbili National Hospital. It involved all patients who underwent ESS in the department of otorhinolaryngology. Information was extracted from patients\' files, ledger, and admission books. The obtained data were analyzed using a statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 22. Descriptive statistics were performed to present the frequency distribution of the demographic characteristics, indications for ESS, and mean for the length of hospital stay.
UNASSIGNED: Out of 1261 surgeries done during the study period, 6.7% (84/1261) were endoscopic sinus surgeries. Of patients who underwent ESS, an almost equal proportion of males and females was found and ages ranged from 8 to 71 years with a mean age of 32 .2 ±16 .9 years. The commonest indication for ESS was sinonasal polyposis at 50.0% (42/84) followed by chronic rhinosinusitis at 20.4% (17/84). The majority of patients 52.4% (44/84) had a hospital stay of 1-3 days. The mean length of postoperative hospital stay following ESS in this study was found to be 2.8 days.
UNASSIGNED: Endoscopic sinus surgeries accounted for 6.7% of all surgeries with sinonasal polyposis being the commonest indication and the estimated mean length of postoperative hospital stay being 3 days.

摘要：
■耳鼻喉科医师经常使用的方法，在这个时代，内窥镜鼻窦手术（ESS）可用于不同鼻窦疾病的手术治疗。尽管ESS自1960年代教授引入以来最常用于炎症性和感染性鼻窦疾病。Messserklinger和Wigand,目前仪器的进步导致了其适应症的增加。因此，这项研究旨在审核我们环境中三级医院的ESS。
■这是一项回顾性描述性横断面研究，在Muhimbili国立医院进行。它涉及在耳鼻喉科接受ESS的所有患者。信息是从病人档案中提取出来的,分类帐，和录取书。使用社会科学统计软件包（SPSS）第22版分析获得的数据。进行描述性统计以呈现人口统计学特征的频率分布，ESS的适应症，意味着住院时间。
■在研究期间进行的1261次手术中，6.7％（84/1261）为内窥镜鼻窦手术。在接受ESS的患者中，发现男性和女性的比例几乎相等，年龄从8到71岁不等，平均年龄为32.2±16.9岁。ESS最常见的适应症是鼻窦息肉病，占50.0%(42/84)，其次是慢性鼻-鼻窦炎，占20.4%(17/84)。大多数患者52.4%(44/84)的住院时间为1-3天。在这项研究中，ESS术后平均住院时间为2.8天。
■内窥镜鼻窦手术占所有手术的6.7％，鼻窦息肉是最常见的适应症，术后平均住院时间估计为3天。
