Endoscopic total sphenoethmoidectomy.
Endoscopic total sphenoethmoidectomy is a procedure reserved for the patient with extensive paranasal sinus disease. Candidates for this operation should have radiographic evidence of pansinusitis and be refractory to medical and lesser surgical management. Given these criteria, total sphenoethmoidectomy with frontal sinusotomy and antrostomy offers an excellent treatment for this patient population.
