Functional minimally invasive nasal endoscopic surgery for the treatment of sinusitis: Functional minimally invasive nasal endoscopic surgery has become the most important surgery for the treatment of chronic sinusitis and is a new technology developed in recent years. It can accurately remove the diseased tissue in the sinuses, open or expand the natural openings of the sinuses, and restore the normal physiological functions of the sinuses. Endoscopic sinus surgery is minimally invasive, which is unmatched by traditional sinus surgery. Known as functional sinus endoscopic surgery, it is based on the complete removal of inflammatory lesions in the sinuses and the re-establishment of good ventilation and drainage of the nasal cavity and sinuses, so as to achieve the purpose of completely curing various sinusitis, sinus cysts and nasal polyps. This technology has the characteristics of precise surgery, thorough one-time treatment, shortened recovery time for patients after surgery, less trauma, basically no pain, and no need for hospitalization.
