Abstract:
〈 i 〉 Objective: 〈 /i 〉 We aimed to explore the transitional process of sinus cavity mucosa after functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) and divide it into different stages. 〈 i 〉 Method: 〈 /i 〉 The morphological characteristics of sinus cavity mucosa after FESS were continuously observed. 〈 i 〉 Results: 〈 /i 〉 Over 90% of the nasal and sinus cavities got clean within 1–2 weeks, over 80% of the operative cavities experienced a reaction to mucosa removal or regenerative diseases within 3–10 weeks, such as mucosal edema, vesicles, granulation tissue, mini-polyps, fibrous hyperplasia and adhesion, which competed against the mucosa epithelialization process. After careful treatment, 90% of the nasal and sinus cavities finished epithelialization, and 60% of them completed epithelialization within 11–14 weeks after operation. 〈 i 〉 Conclusion: 〈 /i 〉 The recovery process of mucosa after FESS can be divided into 3 stages: the stage of clean operative cavity, the stage of mucosal transition and the stage of complete epithelialization. Proper management at the 3 stages is very essential to the whole curable effect of FESS.
