“…Die gemessene Strahlenexposition ist für den Patienten (Auge, Gesamtdosis) und den HNO-Arzt (Hand, Gesamtdosis, Brustbereich) sehr gering und liegt weit unter kritischen Schwellendosen oder der natürlichen Strahlenexposition, ist aber trotzdem zu beachten [1123][1124][1125][1126]. Neuentwicklungen betreffen eine biegbare Spitze, multifunktionale Dilatationsprodukte (Sonde, Spülung und Ballon) [1127], den zusätzlichen Einsatz von Spülsystemen [1128] und navigierbare Führungskatheter [1129] bzw. Führungsdrähte.…”

Endonasal endoscopic sinus surgery is the standard procedure for surgery of most paranasal sinus diseases.Appropriate frame conditions provided, the respective procedures are safe and successful.These prerequisites encompass appropriate technical equipment, anatomical oriented surgical technique, proper patient selection, and individually adapted extent of surgery.The range of endonasal sinus operations has dramatically increased during the last 20 years and reaches from partial uncinectomy to pansinusoperation with extended surgery of the frontal (Draf type III), maxillary (grade 3-4, medial maxillectomy, prelacrimal approach) and sphenoid sinus.In addition there are operations outside and beyond the paranasal sinuses. The development of surgical technique is still constantly evolving.This article gives a comprehensive review on the most recent state of the art in endoscopic sinus surgery according to the literature with the following aspects: principles and fundamentals, surgical techniques, indications, outcome, postoperative care, nasal packing and stents, technical equipment.

“…It can also be done using endoscopic guidance using a 45 degree needle through the middle meatus [10]. A more recent procedure involves the use a sinus balloon catheter [11]. This technique involves accessing the maxillary sinus via the middle meatus using endoscopic guidance.…”

Pediatric chronic rhinosinusitis is a common condition amongst pediatric patients. Despite its prevalence, debate continues regarding the best treatment strategies. The current paper examines the literature as it pertains to the surgical management of pediatric chronic rhinosinusitis. Adenoidectomy remains the mainstay in the initial surgical management. Both maxillary sinus irrigation and balloon dilation of the sinuses have been studied with disagreement as to the timing and patient selection for those procedures. Functional endoscopic sinus surgery is an accepted treatment modality, especially in initial surgical failures. Further studies will be needed to better delineate patient selection and timing of specific surgical techniques.

“…The irrigator can be coupled with a fiber-optic light to confirm its position in the maxillary sinus by transillumination of the cheek. 18 Complications from antral lavage are rare, but include pseudoproptosis and orbital injury.…”

Pediatric sinus surgery is indicated in patients with rhinosinusitis that does not respond medical therapy after controlling of predisposing factors such as allergic rhinitis, adenoiditis, environmental irritants, and gastroesophageal reflux. Orbital and intracranial extensions from rhinosinusitis requires aggressive medical management and expedient surgical intervention. There is an armamentarium of techniques to address the pediatric sinuses, including maxillary antral lavage, septoplasty, turbinate reduction, balloon sinuplasty, and functional endoscopic sinus surgery. Surgeries for pediatric rhinosinusitis have favorable outcomes in general, with low complication rates.
