Instruments and equipment for endoscopic sinus surgery.

Abstract

It is the fiberoptic endoscope and its related hardware that distinguish endoscopic sinus surgery from previous techniques. Lens angles of 0, 25, and 70 degrees, comprising a representative telescope set, accommodate virtually any endoscopic sinus procedure, diagnostic or therapeutic, with unsurpassed visualization. Each telescope may be fitted with an optional suction-irrigation adaptor, a highly controversial accessory among endoscopic surgeons. The clinical situation often dictates the optimal combination of equipment, anesthesia, and technique; surgeon's preference is equally influential. Mastery of conventional operative techniques combined with thorough endoscopic skills is essential for consistent, effective, and safe surgical performance.
