[Initial results of 132 ethmoidectomies by endonasal approach].
47 cases of nasal polyposis and 19 cases of suppurated ethmoiditis were treated by intranasal ethmoidectomy. Results were evaluated by functional signs and nasosinusal endoscopy. 15 patients, among nasal polyposis, suffered from corticodependent asthma and 5 from Widal's disease. 64 patients were regularly followed-up for 1 to 4 years. Results in polyposis, after two years, in 47% of cases no recurrence was noted, a minor recurrence in 40% of cases, and 13% of failures with predominant Widal's disease. These results with low percentage of complications have lead us to choose intranasal ethmoidectomy. In suppurated ethmoiditis, results are good in 90% of cases if follow up is regular.
