In an animal study, the authors demonstrated that mucociliary clearance of the regenerated sinus mucosa with ultrastructural abnormalities may be significantly diminished as compared with that of the control mucosa.

This study concludes that toxic shock syndrome occurs frequently following FESS and that otolaryngologists need to be aware of this potential sequela to appropriately treat patients with this condition.

The authors designed this study in rabbits to evaluate histologic changes after long-term administration of topical nasal decongestants, phenylephrine and oxymetazoline. The results suggest that histologic changes, including ciliary loss, epithelial ulceration, inflammatory cell infiltration, and subepithelial edema, are more pronounced the longer the decongestants are administered.

The authors compared the incidence of complications of FESS with that of traditional endonasal sinus surgery and reported the statistical difference in the incidence of individual major or minor complications between the two groups.

The author introduces an interesting instrument that reduces the risk of violating the important anatomic structures in the nasal cavity and affords precise and less traumatic nasal and sinus surgery.

The authors demonstrate significant postoperative improvement in a sequential visual analog scoring system for symptoms, olfactory tests, ciliary beat frequency, anterior rhinomanometry, and acoustic rhinometry. These results offer an interesting perspective on the pathology of rhinosinusitis and the rationale for FESS.

Thickness of the maxillary sinus mucosa measured at the midpoint of the lateral sinus wall was compared on preoperative and follow-up OMU CT. Improvement in the diseased mucosa of the maxillary sinus, as evaluated on OMU CT, was observed in 69.7% of the patients, and such mucosal changes did not differ significantly among 2-, 4-, 6-, and 12-month follow-up groups. The symptomatic improvement was significantly related to radiologic improvement.

The author prospectively compared the nasal and antral endoscopic findings in patients who had undergone a radical Caldwell-Luc procedure with those in the FESS group, indicating that endoscopically enlarged antral ostium has a higher rate of patency.
