Abstract

Objective To explore the necessity of the partial middle turbinates reconstruction in rhino-endoscopic sinus surgery.Methods The middle turbinates of 56 cases were reserved while 129 cases were partial resected reconstruction according to the disease degree of middle turbinates. Results Followed-up from six months to two years after the operations, 168 cases were cured while 17 cases were not well cured. Conclusions The partial middle turbinectomy in the rhino-endoscopic sinus surgery may be good for curing chronic sinusitis.
