105 patients with chronic purulent sinusitis and chronic adenoiditis were divided into two groups. 85 patients of the study group before adenotomy were subjected to non-puncture cleansing of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses using [symbol: see text] sinus catheter. 20 patients of the control group underwent adenotomy without prior cleansing. Adenotomy in patients of the study group was not associated with any complications, 25 of them required no surgery. 5 controls developed abnormal intraoperative bleeding, 10 controls had high temperature for 3 days.
