Frontal sinusitis following functional endoscopic sinus surgery may represe
nt persistent, recurrent, or iatrogenic disease. The narrow frontal recess
is unforgiving of technical errors, and surgery within its confines require
s ample training, skill, and patience. Revision surgery in this area, compr
omised by scarring and ions-standing mucosal disease, demands even more of
the endoscopic sinus surgeon. While successful treatment of this condition
is a formidable task, strict attention to principles of proper medical and
surgical therapy can increase the chances of a favorable outcome.
