[Spheno-ethmoidectomy in recurrent nasal polyposis. Technic, indications, results].
Spheno-ethmoidectomy can be legitimately included within the therapeutic schema for nasosinusal polyposis causing incapacity and resistant to medical treatment. Benefiting from recent technical progress, a very precise medical therapeutic framework and improved knowledge of ethmoid surgical anatomy, a marked reduction in complications of this operation has been observed. Results of a series of 175 ethmoidectomies performed in 90 patients confirm the good results reported in the literature, even though follow up is still insufficient.
