title: [Topical treatment of maxillary sinusitis. Preliminary report].
abstract: The representation of fundamental ideas is followed by the description of a new instillation preparation for the local treatment of sinusitis. The sterile filling material contains chloramphenicol, sulphanilamide and prednisolone in an organic, absorbable carrier substance based on gelatin. The indication, the technique of application and the results obtained up to now are mentioned. An average of 2.4 instillations was sufficient to achieve healing in 78.5% of the patients. Spontaneous closure of a great perforation occurred in some cases. It is emphasized that the surgical intervention nevertheless remains an integral part of sinusitis therapy and that the results obtained up to now should be corroborated by a greater number of cases and additional investigations.
