I am seeking information on this surgery. I have just had my 5th endoscopic
sinus surgery since Feb96. My continual problem is scar tissue is growing
and closing of the frontal sinuses. Leads to CT scan showing sinuses filled
with fluid, head pain and pressure. I am told that if scar tissue grows back
again within 8 weeks then the only surgery left to do is the obliteration.
The more information I can find on this surgery the more confident I feel
about the surgery.
Thank You.

I have discussed osteoplastic frontal sinus obliteration in a previous response which may be accessed in the "review" section of the ENT clinic or directly at http://ofcn.org/cyber.serv/hwp/hwc/ent/news/ent218.html
