Abstract
Endonasal nasal and sinus surgery using an endoscope for visual contro l has minimized the risks of surgery. A new technique is presented in which a suction-irrigation endoscope is used for visual control during surgery. The instrument is combined with a suction-rotation microdebr ider with different tips and a power generator. The handling of this i nstrument is easy and atraumatic and it achieves a relatively bloodles s field to reduce further the risk of inadvertent penetration of the s kull base and lamina papyracea during endoscopic surgery.
