Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Procedures

Background:

  • Chronic rhinosinusitis often requires surgical intervention.
  • Traditional sinus operations can be invasive with significant morbidity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the procedures and patient candidacy for functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FES).
  • To highlight the physiological rationale and benefits of FES.

Main Methods:

  • Preoperative assessment including telescopic examination and coronal CT scans.
  • Minimally invasive surgical techniques utilizing endoscopic visualization.

Main Results:

  • FES restores physiological mucociliary clearance in paranasal sinuses.
  • The surgery is minimally invasive with reduced patient morbidity.
  • Overall success rates for FES are approximately 85%.

Conclusions:

  • Functional endoscopic sinus surgery is an effective treatment for selected patients with sinonasal disease.
  • FES offers a less invasive alternative to traditional sinus surgery with favorable outcomes.
