Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery

Abstract
|
|
|
Many years of endoscopic investigation and observation proved that most infections of the paranasal sinus are rhinogenic, spreading from the nose into the sinuses. The key area is the ostiomeatal unit (middle meatus- ant. ethmoid complex). The keys to functional endoscopic sinus surgery are an understanding of the underlying mechanisms of paranasal sinus disease and the ability to diagnose the cause accurately. The purpose of functional endoscopic sinus surgery is to reestabilish ventilation and mucociliary clearance of the sinuses.
This goal is achieved primarily by the endoscopic removal of disease from key areas of the anterior ethmoid and middle meatus. In addition, the technique also offers the possibility of performing sphenoethmoidectomy with preservation of the middle turbinate.
