Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is a key treatment for chronic sinusitis unresponsive to medication. This review covers sinusitis diagnosis, anatomy, and the FESS surgical technique.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Procedures
  • Rhinosinusitis

Background:

  • Chronic sinusitis often requires intervention beyond medical management.
  • Understanding sinusitis is crucial for effective treatment planning.
  • Anatomical and pathological factors influence surgical outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of sinusitis management.
  • To detail the surgical technique of functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS).
  • To establish the utility of FESS for chronic sinusitis.

Main Methods:

  • Review of sinusitis diagnosis and medical treatments.
  • Analysis of anatomical and pathological considerations for surgery.
  • Description of the functional endoscopic sinus surgery technique.
