[net.med] sinusitus

dwc@hou2b.UUCP (D.CHEN) (04/15/85)

thie month's american health has a short note about a new surgical
procedure (short and less painful) that has been used at johns hopkins
to treat sinusitus.  they put a little endoscope into the nose and
cut out a small piece of the "ethmoid sinus tissue".  does anyone
know about the details of the surgery and when it will be available
in the new york area?

does anyone out there have any experience with other types of surgery?
i started getting sinus infections about 2 years ago (about a year after
i had surgery to correct a deviated septum) and average about a cold
a month.
