How Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS: Maxillary Sinus) is performed
This procedure is often performed after CT and endoscopic evaluation of the sinuses. If applicable, intraoperative navigation and absorbable packing can be used. Usually, under direct endoscopic vision, the maxillary sinus opening is enlarged through the natural passage, the obstructing mucosa or polyps are cleared, healthy tissue is preserved, and irrigation and hemostasis are performed. Postoperative early monitoring of bleeding, pain, and ventilation recovery aims to reconstruct drainage and ventilation.
