Abstract

Synechiae and ostial stenosis are common and troublesome complications following endoscopic sinus surgery. Many investigators have advocated the use of stents to minimize the risk of postoperative stenosis while others have found their use to be of no benefit. This article reviews the advantages and disadvantages of various stents used in sinus surgery, and discusses such innovations as drug-releasing stents.
