[Personal experience with sinoscopy]

The paper briefly presents the development of maxillary sinus endoscopy since its beginning, to the employment of Hopkins's optics and "cold light". Based on the data from 48 patients who underwent surgery, the tables summarize indications for endoscopic approach to maxillary sinus in smaller centres, which have been rendered even more remote from large clinical centers due to current situation and traffic conditions. The approach through fossa canina is preferred to the endonasal approach.
