Sinusitis in Children

An Overview of Nonendoscopic and Endoscopic Techniques

  • Chapter

  • 187 Accesses

Abstract

The literature regarding the surgical management of chronic sinusitis is confusing at best. Ancillary surgical procedures, such as tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, and antral lavage, are discussed extensively in the older literature, but opinion as to the efficacy varies widely, and recent literature focuses primarily on endoscopic sinus surgery. This chapter will examine the efficacy of nonendoscopic and endoscopie procedures used to manage chronic sinusitis.
