title: Endoscopic sinus surgery in otorhinolaryngology nursing using powered instrumentation.
abstract: Powered instrumentation has gained increased popularity in otolaryngology because of its safety and effectiveness in sinus surgery. An understanding of the principles and techniques of powered dissection of the sinuses, setup and handling of instrumentation, and pre- and postoperative care is necessary for otolaryngology nurses in management of patients undergoing these procedures.
