Introduction
Maxillary sinus minimally invasive surgery refers to endoscopic surgery of the maxillary sinus, in which pus within the sinus cavity is irrigated and removed to achieve therapeutic goals. This procedure requires specialized expertise. To avoid potential harm to the body, it is recommended to undergo the procedure at a正规 medical institution under the guidance of a qualified physician. Regular follow-up visits are important after surgery.
Generally, minimally invasive maxillary sinus surgery refers to endoscopic maxillary sinus surgery, a procedure that clears purulent discharge from the maxillary sinus cavity through surgical intervention to achieve therapeutic goals. The specific steps are as follows:
1. Administer general anesthesia to the patient to ensure comfort and pain-free during the procedure.
2. After anesthesia, insert an endoscope into the patient's nasal cavity to examine the condition of the maxillary sinus.
3. Make a small incision near the middle turbinate to access the maxillary sinus.
4. Through the incision, use a sickle knife to remove the uncinate process, thereby enlarging the sinus opening and improving airflow.
5. Use a suction device to remove pus from the maxillary sinus cavity and perform irrigation.
6. After irrigation, pack the middle meatus with Vaseline gauze; the procedure is then complete.
This procedure requires specialized expertise. To avoid potential harm to the body, it is recommended to undergo the surgery at a正规 medical facility under the guidance of qualified physicians. Postoperatively, regular follow-up visits are important. Patients should cooperate with their doctors in monitoring recovery and follow-up care to ensure optimal outcomes and prevent complications.
