Objective:
To study the surgical experience of endoscopic sinus surgery for the patients with sphenoid sinus disease.
Method:
Twenty-one patients of sphenoid sinus diseases were treated with endoscopy by nasal cavity and sphenoid sinus.
Result:
During 3 months to four years following up, 20 patients were free from disease postoperatively, 1 patient underwent reoperation because of recurrence.
