title: [Diagnosis and treatment of Killian's polyp under nasal endoscope].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To further understand the advantage of examination and operation for killian's polyp under nasal endoscope.
  
  
  METHODS
  22 cases with Killian's polyps were diagnosed and treated under nasal endoscope.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Before operation, examination under nasal endoscope may clearly find origin of the polyp and foci in maxillary sinus, which plays more important role in differential diagnosis and operation than CT or X-ray test. Operative treatment of Killian's polyp under nasal endoscope can not only eradicate foci but also reserve function of mucosa, but for severe foci in the maxillary sinus, the optimum operation should be Caldwell-Luc antrotomy.
