Abstract:
You suffer from "sinus". Medical treatment isn't getting you better, and now you need surgery. It is better that you be treated surgically today rather than as in the past. Five years ago, surgery meant an incision through the eyebrow, with probable numbing of the forehead, in order to relieve the pain of acute frontal sinusitis; or a long eyebrow incision, or shaving the front part of the scalp and pulling down the forehead skin from the skull was the procedure of choice for chronic disease in these sinuses. If the cheek sinuses were chronically diseased, an incision was made through the gums above the upper teeth, often resulting in numbing of the teeth and marked swelling of the cheek.
