The care of rhinologic patients has undergone a remarkable transformation in recent years. With the advent of endoscopic sinus surgery and high-tech image-guided computer systems, the surgical care of patients with benign sinonasal disease has successfully transitioned from the main hospital operating room to the outpatient ambulatory surgical center. Currently, there is yet another movement underway, in an attempt to care for these patients in the office setting.
As the medical device sector continues to innovate at rapid speed, new technologies such as the radiofrequency ablator, microdebrider, balloon sinus dilator, and steroid-eluting stent have propelled the care of rhinologic patients into the clinic setting.
In conjunction with an overall increased attention toward cost and time savings, the push to modernize instrumentation is now enabling the otolaryngologist to keep both the medical and surgical treatment of rhinologic patients, particularly those with chronic disease, within the office setting.
近年来，鼻科患者的护理发生了显著变化。随着鼻内镜鼻窦手术和高科技图像引导计算机系统的出现，良性鼻窦疾病患者的手术护理已成功地从医院主手术室转移到门诊日间手术中心。目前，还有另一项举措正在进行，即试图在门诊环境中护理这些患者。
随着医疗设备领域继续快速创新，诸如射频消融器、微型切割器、球囊鼻窦扩张器和类固醇洗脱支架等新技术已将鼻科患者的护理推进到临床环境中。
在对节省成本和时间的总体关注度不断提高的同时，仪器现代化的推动现在使耳鼻喉科医生能够在门诊环境中对鼻科患者，尤其是慢性病患者进行药物和手术治疗。
