Mini-fess in children

Mieczysław Chmielik, Anna Bielicka, Lechosław P. Chmielik

Summary
The study presents basic principles of qualifying patients for surgical treatment, and performing sinus operations in children. It emphasizes the importance to perform sinus CT examination prior to a planned sinus surgery. The authors discuss the advantages of the mini functionally endoscopic sinus surgery in children, as this treatment method has been effectively used at the Department of Paediatric Otorhinolaryngology for a number of years. Conditions in which the functionally endoscopic sinus surgery is not sufficient (frontal sinus lesions, orbital complications of acute sinusitis) are also mentioned in the paper. The second part of the study presents own material comprising 57 patients with orbital complications of acute ethmoiditis, and 159 patients with chronic sinusitis, which required surgical treatment.
