Description
Summary:This report describes a combined approach to the maxillary sinus, used to deal with mucosal pathology. The technique uses a powered microdebrider with angled endoscopes and is minimally invasive. It is cost-effective and offers the potential for decreased surgical time, reduced post-operative healing time and reduced post-operative morbidity.
