  • Title: Endonasal sinus surgery with endoscopical control: from radical operation to rehabilitation of the mucosa.
    Author: Wigand ME, Steiner W, Jaumann MP.
    Journal: Endoscopy; 1978 Nov; 10(4):255-60. PubMed ID: 738221.
    Abstract:
    The radical operations of the paranasal sinuses with total removal of the diseased mucosa very often produced postoperative disability due to scar formation and nerve irritation. A new concept of endonasal sinus surgery is based on the reestablishment of paranasal draining, reventilation, and preservation of the lining mucosa. This became possible by a strictly endonasal approach using angle-optic endoscopes for the optical control of manipulations. The principles of endonasal antrostomy, ethmoidectomy, and infundibulotomy are outlined, and their preliminary results are given. The importance of long-range postoperative local treatment is emphasized.
