Abstract

Since the introduction of endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) in the 1980s, the field of rhinology has experienced a renaissance in the surgical management of sinonasal disease [1]. The introduction of the endoscope enabled the field of rhinology to evolve surgically from the macroscopic external and endonasal approaches of that era to the functional and less invasive sinonasal procedures in use today. The development of high-resolution, thin-cut, tri-planar computed tomography (CT) scans further served to advance our understanding of sinonasal pathology and its treatment. Modern ESS is significantly safer and more successful than in the past, however, it remains technically challenging in large part due to the complex anatomy of the paranasal sinuses.
