The purpose of functional endoscopic sinus surgery is to reestablish ventilation and mucociliary clearance of the sinuses. This goal is achieved primarily by the endoscopic removal of disease from key areas of the anterior ethmoid and middle meatus. In addition, the technique also offers the possibility of performing sphenoethmoidectomy with preservation of the middle turbinate. Localized irreversible disease in the maxillary sinus may be removed endoscopically with minimal trauma. The technique allows excellent visualization, and results in minimal morbidity and bleeding. Nasal packing is not required, and surgery can usually be performed on an outpatient basis using local anesthesia.
功能性鼻内镜鼻窦手术的目的是重建鼻窦的通气和黏液纤毛清除功能。这一目标主要通过鼻内镜从前筛窦和中鼻道的关键区域清除病变来实现。此外，该技术还提供了保留中鼻甲进行蝶筛窦切除术的可能性。上颌窦局限性不可逆病变可通过鼻内镜以最小的创伤切除。该技术视野极佳，发病率和出血极少。无需鼻腔填塞，手术通常可在门诊采用局部麻醉进行。
