OBJECTIVE To explore the methods and effects of endoscopic nasal structure reshaping for treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis(CRS). METHODS One hundred and twenty-three cases of CRS patients with abnormal anatomy in nasal cavity and sinus were treated by the Messerklinger approach. At the same time varieties of anatomical abnormalities were corrected,including①submucous resection of nasal septum,②submusous middle turbinate resection,③submusous inferior turbinate resection,④Uncinate process resection ⑤deal with frontal recess and its adjacent cells. RESULTS All patients were followedup for 1 to 2 years. One hundred and six cases were successful,14 satisfied and 3 inefficient. The rate of full recovery was 97.56%. CONCLUSION Reshaping nasal structure during endoscopic surgery is a method worth recommendation for structural rhinitis.
