Surgery for Acute Sinusitis
If positive results were not achieved during drug therapy, the patient undergoes surgery [6]. Surgical operation is now seldom done, such as puncturing the infected sinus with pus removal and flushing the cavity with antiseptics. This is considered to be an invasive intervention, frequently followed by complications (damage to the eye socket, upper jaw, air embolism, and others). In patients with serious acute sinusitis, it is normally suggested.
Other surgical methods are used to treat chronic sinusitis. Both conventional open sinus surgery and minimally invasive surgery with the assistance of endoscopic equipment is used.
