  • Title: Classical intranasal ethmoidectomy: does the endoscope have a role?
    Author: O'Halloran GL, Kern EB.
    Journal: J Otolaryngol; 1991 Dec; 20(6):391-4. PubMed ID: 1774795.
    Abstract:
    The major advantage of intranasal endoscopy is that it allows a magnified view of the osteomeatal region and the frontal recess. Performing intranasal ethmoidectomy with nasal endoscopes may be hazardous, particularly in the hands of inexperienced surgeons. The use of 2-power loops for performing intranasal ethmoidectomy has several advantages, including direct binocular vision and visualization of external anatomic landmarks. The use of loops does not preclude the use of endoscopes.
