Abstract
Twenty-six maxillary sinuses (of 20 patients) were studied following C aldwell-Luc procedures. Surgery had been performed between 1 to 27 yea rs previously. Follow-up studies included nasal endoscopy, coronal com puted tomography and camera-sequence scintigraphy. Findings demonstrat ed that normalization of disturbed mucosal function was possible after surgery, Indications for revision endoscopic sinus surgery are discus sed, as are the limitations of surgery.
