title: [The use of predforte in the transnasal endoscopic sinus surgery].
abstract: For finding a way to advance the healing of the operative cavity after transnasal endoscopic sinus surgery (TESS). Predforte (mixt 10% prednisolone acetate) was administered transnasally to the operative cavity of 75 cases who accepted TESS. 13 cases (17.5%) were brought about a striking effect, the good results were achieved on the 56 cases. The total effective rate was 92.0%. The results suggest that the mixture could be distributed better and effected longer in comparison with the solution of predinisolone acetate.
