What Is Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery?
Sinus surgery using nasal endoscopes and special surgical instruments was pioneered by the Austrian rhinologist Messerklinger in the early 1970s and is therefore also known as the Messerklinger Technique (MT).

- Sinus surgery using nasal endoscopes and special surgical instruments was pioneered by the Austrian rhinologist Messerklinger in the early 1970s and is therefore also known as the Messerklinger Technique (MT).
- Initially, the main content of this technology was to perform surgery on the sinus on the basis of nasal cavity and sinus endoscope examination. The purpose is to rely on the characteristics of the wide angle of view and refractible sight of the endoscope to completely remove the hidden lesions in the sinus. It is particularly important for patients with multiple nasal polyps. This operation is called Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (ESS).
- With the nasal and sinus mucosa physiology and
- Preparation for functional endoscopic sinus surgery:
- 1. The day before the operation
- It can make the operation more delicate by virtue of the good illumination of the endoscope and the matching surgical instruments. The traditional radical or complete destructive surgery of the sinus mucosa is transformed into a thorough removal of lesions, as far as possible to retain the normal mucosa and structure of the nasal cavity and sinuses, to form good ventilation and drainage, and promote nasal cavity, sinuses Functional surgery for recovery of morphology and physiological function of the mucosa. And according to the severity of the disease, the purpose of relying on the recovery of the physiological functions of the nasal cavity and sinus to cure rhinitis, sinusitis and nasal polyps can be achieved. Due to its strong light guide, multi-angle, and large field of view, it can directly peek into many important parts in the nasal cavity (such as each sinus opening, each groove, and the concealed narrow place inside the sinuses) and small lesions in the nasopharynx. In addition to surgical treatment, video can also be taken at the same time, and data can be saved for consultation, teaching observation and scientific research summary. This method has the advantages of less trauma, less pain during and after surgery, thorough surgery, and fine operation. Nasal endoscopic surgery can not only completely remove rhinitis, sinusitis, and nasal polyps, but also correct nasal septum deviation at the same time, thereby reducing the recurrence rate after surgery.
