Abstract
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.
