[New methods of diagnosis and treatment of paranasal sinusitis with "IaMIK" sinus catheters].
A new method for the diagnosis and treatment of PNS has been designed. The devices are named sinus-catheters YAMIK and consist of elongated flexible body with two inflatable vessels and three passages. Two of the passages have separate outlets into the vessel cavities and serve for their inflation. The third, working passage, opens on the body surface between the vessels and has an adaptor on the other end. Also a glass model of nasal sinuses has been developed. On the model YAMIK the procedure performs as follows: sinus catheter is inserted into the nasal cavity, the nostril and rhinopharynx are sealed off by inflating the vessels, a syringe is connected to the adaptor of the working passage. It creates controlled negative pressure in the nasal cavity, and this makes pathological secretion come out of the paranasal sinuses through their natural openings. After the evacuation of the pathological contents, medicine is introduced into the sinuses. This glass model is helpful in understanding the principle of YAMIK procedure which provides a good opportunity to evacuate pathological secretion from PNS through natural ostia and introduce medicine into the PNS.
