This article describes the procedures of functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FES). The types of patients who are potential candidates for the surgery are discussed and case examples given. The primary rationale for functional endoscopic sinus surgery is its physiological basis in restoring mucocilliary clearance of the paranasal sinuses. Accurate preoperative assessment using telescopic examination in the office and coronal CT scans of the sinus provide the surgeon with precise anatomical information which is used at the time of surgery. The surgery is minimally invasive resulting in significantly less morbidity than with traditional sinus operations. Overall success rates are approximately 85%.
本文介绍了功能性鼻内镜鼻窦手术（FES）的操作步骤。讨论了该手术的潜在候选患者类型并给出了病例示例。功能性鼻内镜鼻窦手术的主要理论依据是其在恢复鼻窦黏液纤毛清除功能方面的生理基础。在门诊使用鼻内镜检查和鼻窦冠状位CT扫描进行准确的术前评估，为外科医生提供精确的解剖信息，这些信息在手术时会用到。该手术微创，与传统鼻窦手术相比，发病率显著降低。总体成功率约为85%。
