Safe treatment of ethmoid sinusitis utilizing minimally invasive ethmoid punch sinusotomy (EPS) in chronic rhinosinusitis without polyposis (CRSsNP) patients
ConclusionsThis feasibility study demonstrates that EPS appears to be a safe minimally invasive procedure to treat ethmoid sinusitis in CRSsNP patients unresponsive to medical therapy that establishes ethmoid ventilation, and likely improves effective sinus irrigation. Conducting a clinical trial would be appropriate in assessing a potential role for EPS in the management of this condition.
