title: Role of microrhinoscopic sinus surgery in chronic sinusitis: Initial results.
abstract: Chronic sinusitis with/ without polyposis account for the majority of nasal pathology. The advent of Functional Sinus Surgery has led to a better understanding of the complex anatomy of the paranasal sinuses and the surrounding vital structures. The application of surgical principle and technique of Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery to another approach for regional pathology using operating microscope has enabled us to significantly refute this technique of treatment of sinus pathology namely Microrhinoscopic Sinus Surgery (MRSS). In this paper the technique as well as the initial results of the Microrhinoscopic Sinus Surgery(MRSS) is discussed with its advantages.
