How Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS: Draf II/III Frontal Sinusotomy) is performed
Endoscopic frontal sinusoplasty is a functional endoscopic sinus surgery, and image navigation and power systems can be optionally used; if applicable, hemostatic materials or support devices are placed. The surgery usually enters through the nasal cavity under general anesthesia, clears inflammatory and obstructive tissue in the frontal sinus drainage pathway, and performs individualized expansion at bony stenosis (Draf II/III is assessed by a specialist). Postoperative attention is paid to bleeding and mucosal edema, with flushing and follow-up, with the goal of restoring ventilation and drainage. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specifics are subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
