Abstract
Rhinosinusitis is a very common upper respiratory illness. Functional endoscopic sinus surgery has been successfully utilized in the surgical treatment of medically refractory rhinosinusitis. The endoscopic approach has also been extended to various skull base lesion and sinonasal neoplasms. This paper provides a brief overview of the clinical aspect of evaluating sinonasal surgical patients. Judicious use of nasal endoscopy and importance of CT imaging of the sinuses are discussed. Emphasis is placed on establishing communication between the sinus surgeon and radiologist to facilitate evaluation of the sinonasal surgical patients. Timing and specific types of imaging studies before any revision sinus surgery are discussed. Major complications associated with endoscopic sinus surgery are reviewed.
