Abstract:
The ultimate success of functional endoscopic sinus surgery often is determined during the period of postoperative care. Final surgical results are greatly influenced by preoperative surgical planning and intraoperative decision-making. One goal of postoperative care includes the prevention of scar formation, such as middle turbinate collapse. Specific techniques include mucosal preservation, middle meatal spacer corticosteroids and culture-directed antibiotics.
