To observe therapeutic effect of microwave eliminating the remnant lesion located at walls of maxillary sinus after endoscopic maxillary sinus surgery and the effect of postoperative.
METHOD
Twenty-six cases (37 sites) were treated with microwave coagulating through enlarged ostium completely by means of 70 degrees endoscopy-guided.
RESULT
The remnant lesion located at walls of maxillary sinus of 23 cases (33 sites) were eliminated without any complication and the effective eliminating rate was 89.2% (33/37). The infected local secretion of maxillary sinus of 17 cases (22 sites) were disappeared.
CONCLUSION
The therapy of microwave by means of nasal endoscopy-guided can get rid of the lesion which is located at walls of the maxillary sinus to avoid the trauma caused by Caldwell-Luc operation, etc. It can improve the effect of the endoscopic sinus surgery.
