[Wound healing after endoscopic sinus surgery and postoperative management].
Understanding the physiological concepts of wound healing after rhinologic procedures facilitates detection and management of more or less obvious problems of wound healing. In this review, the physiologic processes involved in wound healing are explained, and typical clinical constellations are presented. Based on challenges of anatomy and physiology, recent findings are summarized, and possible conclusions for managing the postoperative mucosa are drawn.
