Background and Objectives： Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) is an effec- tive treatment for chronic sinusitis and nasal polyposis. But during opera- tion, foggy or contaminated endoscopic lenz takes long time for operation to clean lenz. To solve this problem, the Endoscrubⓡ has been used from the 1990s. It dramatically improved visualization
and reduced operation ti- me during surgery. This study is aimed at evaluating the effect of the Endoscrub
ⓡ on operation time required for ESS.
Materials and Methods：We investigated operation time in 60 patients underwent both ESS for chronic rhinosinusitis. We perfomed ESS using Endoscrubⓡ on side and not using Endoscrubⓡ on the other side. The operation time was then compared with the preoperative computed tomographic staging and surgery scores.
Results：The time requirement for ESS by using Endoscrubⓡ, operation time were much lower in using Endoscrubⓡ group than not using Endoscrubⓡ group.
Conclusion： The Endoscrub ⓡ is a very useful instrument for ESS and it can reduce operation time during ESS.
