Authors report 25 cases of frontal sinus diseases treated surgically at the ENT Department Medical University of Lodz. There were three groups of pathologies: 13 cases of inflammatory disease, 9 osteoma cases and 3 trauma cases. The total number of 30 surgical procedures has been performed (13 Beck's method, 6 radical method, 6 classical method, 2 Ogston-Luc method and 3 reconstructions of anterior wall of the frontal sinus using bone sutures). In each group the type of surgical method and the causes of the possible postoperative pitfalls and recurrence of the disease were analyzed.
