	NYOG - NY Sinus Center - Regarding Surgery
		Traditional sinus surgery, which was developed in the 1950s, focused on draining or removing infection from the sinus cavities.
		Sinus Center physicians have noted that there are many instances where surgery is not recommended to patients who would clearly benefit from a targeted, minimally invasive procedure.
		Sinus surgery should only be considered after extensive medical treatment, lifestyle modifications and daily sinus cleansing have failed to improve symptoms.

		Sinus disease is integrally related to multiple disease processes and environmental factors that affect the head and neck.
		Sinus disease occurs in several forms, but all are related to a combination of infection and the inability of air to get into sinus cavities from the nose.
		Sinus surgery, opening the sinus cavities so air can reach the mucosa in a "functional" way, allows reversal of the disease process as long as the mucosal and bone of the sinuses has not been too badly damaged by the infections.

	Understanding Sinus Pain (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Sinusitis is an inflammation of the sinus membranes due to an infection.
		The sinus cavities are located in four areas: the brow area, inside each cheekbone, behind the bridge of the nose between the eyes, and in the upper region of the nose behind the eyes.
		The swelling causes a narrowing of the sinus passages, contributing to blockage in the sinuses.

	What is Sinus?
		Sinus cavities vary according to location in the facial bones of the skull - they can become inflamed individually or collectively.
		These sinus cavities are found on either side of the nostrils in the cheek bones.
		These sinus cavities lie deeper in the skull behind the ethmoid sinuses and the eyes.

	Mechanics of a Sinus Infection
		The purpose of this mucus is to moisten, filter and regulate the temperature of the air that we breathe in.
		The way that the mucus is secreted into the nasal duct is through small openings in the sinus cavities through which they drain their mucus.
		In case of sinus infections, this mucus membrane which lines the cavities becomes inflamed or swollen.

		When sinus infections are recurrent and do not respond to medication (antibiotics, anti-fungals, decongestants, or anti-inflammatories), surgery may be necessary to enlarge the openings of the sinuses.
		Surgery is used to remove the diseased sinus tissue and create an open pathway for infected material to successfully drain from the sinus cavities.
		Each sinus has an opening into the nose for the free exchange of air and mucus, and each is joined with the nasal passages by a continuous mucous membrane lining.

	Sinusitis (Sinus Infection)
		Each sinus has an opening into the nose for the free exchange of air and mucus, and each is joined with the nasal passages by a continuous mucous membrane lining.
		Since the ethmoid sinuses are near the tear ducts in the corner of the eyes, inflammation of these cavities often causes swelling of the eyelids and tissues around the eyes and pain between the eyes.
		People who suspect that their sinus inflammation may be related to dust, mold, pollen, or food -- or any of the hundreds of allergens that can trigger a respiratory reaction -- should consult a doctor.

	Sinus Infections
		Sinus infections are usually the result of mucus buildup in one or more of the sinus cavities in the head.
		There are four sinus cavities: the frontal (above the eyes); the maxillary (inside the cheekbones); the spheroid (behind the bridge of the nose) and the ethmoid (in the upper nose).
		The symptoms of a sinus infection include fever, headache (especially when bending forward), earache, toothache (sometimes sinusitis is associated with a dental infection), cranial pressure, facial tenderness (tapping on the sinuses causes pain), cough, difficulty breathing through the nose, decreased sense of smell, stuffy nose and a postnasal drip.

	Sinus Infection
		Sinus infection, also known as sinusitis, is caused by inflammation and blockage of the sinus cavities.
		Most sinus infections are caused by viruses (such as the common cold), asthma, allergens (such as dust, mold, and pollen), nasal polyps, or anything that causes swelling in the nose.
		Sinus infection produces headache, pain, upper jaw and tooth ache, tenderness around the nose, forehead and cheeks, swelling around the eyes, ear ache and infection, fever, weakness, cough, and a runny nose or nasal congestion.

	Sinusitis
		Most cases of sinusitis are preceded by a "cold." The nose reacts to an invasion of viruses by producing mucus and sending white blood cells to the lining of the nose, which congest and swell the nasal passages, trapping air and mucus in the sinuses.
		As the sinus openings become too narrow to permit drainage of the mucus, the bacteria that may have been living harmlessly in the nose or throat multiply and cause an acute sinus infection.
		Anyone who suspects that their sinus inflammation may be related to dust, mold, pollen, or food - or any of the hundreds of allergens that can trigger a respiratory reaction - should speak to their doctor.

		Sinusitis occurs when bacteria infects the sinus cavities, usually due to blockage of the small tubes attached to your nasal passages.
		The mucous linings in the sinus cavities are continuous with the mucous linings of the nasal passages.
		The mucous linings have ciliated epithelium (cells with fines hairs) that move the mucous from the sinus cavities to drain into the nasal passages.Air trapped in an obstructed sinus, along other secretions, may cause pressure on the sinus wall.

	AAAAI - Patients & Consumers Center: Rhinosinusitis: What is Chronic Rhinosinusitis?
		Chronic sinus disease may be caused by blockage of the sinus openings (called sinus "ostial obstruction"), problems with the movement of mucus (called "mucociliary disturbances") or a weakness in the immune system (called "hypogammaglobulinemia").
		This inflammation causes the sinus membranes to thicken, which in turn further exacerbates the ostial obstruction and infection.
		In such patients, rhinoscopy can be very useful to assess the patient's progress after sinus surgery and to see whether the sinus passages have remained open or nasal polyps have regrown.

		The goal of sinus surgery is to remove the diseased sinus tissue and create an open pathway for infected material to successfully drain from the sinus cavities.
		Recent advancements in the field have given surgeons increased ability to map out a patient’s sinus pathways and perform less invasive surgical procedures, but all sinus sufferers need to be aware of the possible risks and complications as well as the benefits associated with sinus surgery.
		According to the American Academy of Family Physicians, “Functional endoscopic sinus surgery is a minimally invasive technique used to restore sinus ventilation and normal function.” Usually the entire surgical procedure can be accomplished completely through the nostrils, leaving no external scars, little swelling or discomfort, and more of the normal tissue in place.
