title: Endoscopic nasal surgery.
abstract: The purpose of functional endoscopic sinus surgery is to re-establish ventilation and mucociliary clearance by endoscopic removal of diseased tissue from key areas of the nasal cavity. Systematic nasal endoscopy and high resolution computed tomography provide diagnostic information that can allow for the recognition of pathology not identifiable by other means.
