[Personal experience in the treatment of maxillary sinus diseases treated with functional surgery--nasoantrostomy].
Authors analyzed results of functional surgery-low nasal antrostomy in treatment of certain maxillary sinus disease in 76 patients, 7-51 years of age. Advantages of this method were staded in relation to classical radical surgery of maxillary sinus from the aspect of simple procedures, preservation of surrounding region's integrity and absence of postoperative complications. The importance of the irrigation tube that is Foley catheter in the postoperative sinus lavage in children was pointed out. In our opinion this method is getting important due to increased use of endoscopic procedures concerning maxillary sinuses being easier because of previously performed nasal antrostomy. In order to achieve success, precise diagnose is necessary as well as right indications which results in 90% of cured patients.
