Abstract

We are very reluctant to perform sinus surgery in children; children under 10 years of age account for less than 2% of our surgical cases. In contrast to adults, many other than just ethmoidal causes usually can be identified and treated in children’s sinusitis (adenoids, allergies). Functional endoscopic surgery in children requires expert knowledge and experience and we strongly recommend that novices not start with pediatric cases.—Heinz Stammberger(1).
