Changes in sinus mucosa after endoscopic sinus surgery

This study was conducted on a group of 30 patients suffering from chronic sinusitis and control group of 15 patients in a period of two years. Chronic sinusitis group was evaluated by pre-operative C.T. scan. Which was performed with [General electric scan 9800]. Post-operative C.T. scans were taken for follow up.Diagnostic nasal endoscopy was performed at the time of the initial evaluation at the out patient clinic. Evaluation was performed under topical an aesthesia After decision had been made to proceed with F.E.S.S. the first biopsy was taken during surgery and the second biopsy was taken after improvement from O. M.C. ordinary histologic examination with haematoxyline, eosin and toluidine blue ultrastructural examination by Transmission Electron microscopy and Scannng Electron Microscopy results concluded that: use of functional endoscopic sinus surgery to remove the local pathological lesion [affecting Ostio Meatal complex] is a main factor in gradual regeneration of the paranasal sinus mucosa

Endoscopic biopsy for intrabony lesions of the mandible and maxilla

The endoscopic biopsy approach has opened up a new dimension for the diagnosis of intrabony soft lesions of mandible and maxilla. Depending on the experience of the surgeon, this can be a very atraumatic and fast procedure. The results of the study encourage to investigate possibility of enoculation of cystic lesions of jaws via endoscopic approach

Radiologic and endoscopic study in cases of allergic rhino-sensual disease

This study included two groups of patients. Both were examined radiologically and sinoscopically: The first group consisted of one hundred antra in 53 patients diagnosed clinically as allergic rhino-sinusitis. Subacute and chronic infections were observed sinoscopically in 21% of antra. Polyposis was observed in 48% of antra. Pathogenesis and pathology of allergic rhinosinusal disease were antroscopic findings. The second group consisted of 16 patients diagnosed clinically as nasal polypi. Successful sinoscopic examination was done for 30 antra. Edema was observed in 6 antra while polypi were observed in the antral muucosa were partly due to extension of the pathological changes of the nasal mucosa and partly secondary to ostial obstruction and/or infection
