Endonasal sinus surgery offers a high success rate for inflammatory sinus disease. This microsurgical approach results in better outcomes and fewer complications compared to external methods.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology and Rhinology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgical Techniques

Background:

  • Inflammatory sinus disease management increasingly utilizes endonasal surgical approaches.
  • Microsurgical techniques are employed for maxillary, ethmoid, sphenoid, and frontal sinus operations, alongside septoplasty.

Discussion:

  • The study retrospectively analyzed 251 endonasal microsurgeries performed on 310 patients, with follow-up ranging from 12 to 36 months.
  • The preferred method involves semi-Fowler's position and hypotensive anesthesia for intranasal procedures.
  • Transantral microsurgical techniques demonstrate advantages over transfacial or external sinus surgery, including improved functional results and reduced hospitalization.

Key Insights:

  • An operative success rate of 92.8% was achieved in the studied cohort.
  • No significant complications such as cerebrospinal fluid leakage, persistent visual or ocular disturbances, or vascular issues were reported.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Endonasal microsurgery is a safe and effective treatment for chronic inflammatory sinus conditions.

    • Outlook:

    • Further research can explore long-term outcomes and patient-reported quality of life.
    • Continued refinement of microsurgical techniques may expand indications and improve patient selection.
