Abstract
Endoscopic sinus surgery has revolutionized the field of otolaryngology and is now the surgical standard of care in treating most paranasal sinus disorders. A graduating otolaryngology resident must be proficient in performing endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) to care for common sinonasal pathology. Thus, our goal with this chapter is to provide a systematic guide of ESS for surgeons at all stages of training. We discuss the indications for ESS, the thorough review of preoperative computed tomography, the intraoperative technique for ESS, as well as complications. We believe that careful review of this chapter will provide physicians with a comprehensive base to understand the concept of endoscopic sinus surgery and will allow them to develop their technique and skills as they continue to train. This review contains 5 figures, 5 tables, 34 references Keywords: Endoscopic Sinus Surgery, Surgical Education, Surgical Technique, Surgical Complications, Open Sinus Surgery Approaches
