Hôpital Saint-Michel, Paris.

Between 1982 and 1987 we treated 469 patients who accounted for a total of 640 involved sinuses. These patients suffered from various stages of chronic sinusitis. Endoscopy of the maxillary sinuses enabled us to collect important information regarding the state of the mucosa and secretions, to collect bacteriological samples and to inspect the ostium and take pressure measurements. There was an 80% success rate in cases of sinusitis treated by drainage. In our opinion the indication for inferior meatotomy is as an extraction procedure and is not of value for aeration drainages. Nevertheless, out of a total of 141 inferior meatotomies performed, 80% remained patent after a mean follow up period of 3 years.

D009092 Mucous Membrane An EPITHELIUM with MUCUS-secreting cells, such as GOBLET CELLS. It forms the lining of many body cavities, such as the DIGESTIVE TRACT, the RESPIRATORY TRACT, and the reproductive tract. Mucosa, rich in blood and lymph vessels, comprises an inner epithelium, a middle layer (lamina propria) of loose CONNECTIVE TISSUE, and an outer layer (muscularis mucosae) of SMOOTH MUSCLE CELLS that separates the mucosa from submucosa.

D002908 Chronic Disease Diseases which have one or more of the following characteristics: they are permanent, leave residual disability, are caused by nonreversible pathological alteration, require special training of the patient for rehabilitation, or may be expected to require a long period of supervision, observation, or care (Dictionary of Health Services Management, 2d ed).

D004724 Endoscopy Procedures of applying ENDOSCOPES for disease diagnosis and treatment. Endoscopy involves passing an optical instrument through a small incision in the skin i.e., percutaneous; or through a natural orifice and along natural body pathways such as the digestive tract; and/or through an incision in the wall of a tubular structure or organ, i.e. transluminal, to examine or perform surgery on the interior parts of the body.
