The aim of the study was to evaluate long term outcomes after endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) in the patients with nasal polyposis, chronic sinusitis and rhinogenic headache. 667 patients were enrolled in this study whom were operated in 1995 to 2005. The evaluation of patients were performed in th- ree groups as: chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps and rhinogenic headache. The preoperative and postoperative diagnostic findings of nasal endoscopy, paranasal sinus computed tomograpgy (BT) and skin prick test were examined retrospectively. ESS was performed on patients under controlled hypotension local anesthesia by using the Messerklinger technique. We usually performed infundibulectomy, maxillary ostium dilatation and anterior ethmoidectomy for patients. A significant decreasing in the symptoms of nasal polyps and chronic sinusitis and rhinogenic headache (p <0,05) was found in all patients. 89 patients underwent revision ESS (13.34%). ESS was associated with a less than 1% major complication rate and was successful at least in 80% of patients. ESS is an effective treatment way and can obtain significant symptomatic benefits for patients
