Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) improves sinus function by restoring nasal physiology. Postoperative imaging is crucial for identifying complications and understanding surgical changes in patients undergoing FESS.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Radiology
  • Surgical Anatomy

Background:

  • Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is the primary surgical treatment for sinonasal inflammatory disease.
  • FESS aims to restore sinonasal physiology by addressing the sinus outflow tract.
  • Previous surgeries may alter sinus anatomy, complicating postoperative interpretation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the spectrum of surgical changes on postoperative paranasal sinus imaging.
  • To identify potential complications associated with FESS.

Main Methods:

  • Review of cross-sectional imaging (CT scans) in patients post-FESS.
  • Correlation of imaging findings with surgical techniques and known complications.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Postoperative imaging reveals characteristic changes related to FESS.
  • Specific complications associated with monocular endoscopy can be identified.
  • Differentiating prior mucosal-resection surgeries from FESS is important for interpreting CT scans.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding postoperative imaging findings is essential for managing patients after FESS.
  • Radiologists and surgeons must be aware of potential surgical changes and complications.
  • Accurate interpretation of imaging aids in patient care and surgical planning.
