Endoscopic Approach after Failure of Open Sinus Procedures

  • Chapter

Abstract

• Surgeons need to be familiar with the external surgical approaches including the indications and techniques in order to perform revision cases safely.

• Every effort should be made to obtain a detailed knowledge of the previous surgery.

• Potential for complications is greater due to the disruption of normal anatomy and pathways and greater likelihood of osteoneogenesis, adhesions, and breech of sinus boundaries compared to endoscopic surgery.

• Image guidance is useful but does not compensate for lack of preoperative planning.

• Always operate from known to unknown and always be vigilant that significant surgical defects can be found behind normal anatomy.
