What instruments are used to do sinus surgery?
Endoscopic sinus surgery is performed with small, little instruments to reach up inside the sinuses and the nasal passageway under direct and indirect visualization. Most of the visualization is done with 0, 30, and 70 angle telescopes placed inside the nose. Small upbiting pediatric Weil-Blakesley forceps are used to remove the polyps. These are also used to open the natural windows into the maxillary, frontal, and sphenoid sinuses and un-root the floor of the ethmoid sinuses when needed.
