Result:
The remnant lesion located at walls of maxillary sinus of 23 cases (33 sites) were eliminated without any complication and the effective eliminating rate was 89.2% (33/37). The infected local secretion of maxillary sinus of 17 cases (22 sites) were disappeared.
Conclusion:
The therapy of microwave by means of nasal endoscopy-guided can get rid of the lesion which is located at walls of the maxillary sinus to avoid the trauma caused by Caldwell-Luc operation, etc. It can improve the effect of the endoscopic sinus surgery.
