title: Sinus surgery to the rescue.
abstract: Rather than being a formal discussion of a sinus surgery procedure, this article describes the hows and whys of sinus surgery. Explaining to patients about any aspect of surgery can be a complicated matter. This article describes what sinuses are, the necessity of sinus surgery, and what the procedure entails. Explanations to patients regarding their surgery can reduce their anxiousness about it and allow them to develop reasonable expectations. Part of preoperative nursing is to prepare a patient through education; here is how one hospital accomplishes this.
