Abstract
• Continued development and refinement of available surgical instrumentation for endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) remains important.
• The patient undergoing revision ESS may present a unique set of anatomic and surgical challenges requiring unique instrument solutions.
• New developments and refinements have improved visualization (videoscopic equipment), our ability to precisely handle soft tissue (microdebriders, through-cutting instruments), our ability to remove bone efficiently (high-speed burs), and our access (angled and malleable instrumentation) during ESS.
• The revision ESS surgeon must be experienced with these current and evolving instruments in order to optimize outcome and safety.
