Abstract
The ultimate success of functional endoscopic sinus surgery often is d etermined during the period of postoperative care. Final surgical resu lts are greatly influenced by preoperative surgical planning and intra operative decision-making. One goal of postoperative care includes the prevention of scar formation, such as middle turbinate collapse. Spec ific techniques include mucosal preservation, middle meatal spacer cor ticosteriods and culture-directed antibiotics.
