[Dacryocystorhinostomy by nasal endoscopy: an example of multidisciplinary collaboration].

The authors report on endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy: 19 operations have been done (5 pre-saccal stenosis and 14 post-saccal stenosis). Operations on pre-saccal pathways allow to reduce significantly the tearing, without suppressing it completely. Surgery of the post-saccal pathways gives the best results, with the suppression of the tearing or/and of the superinfection in almost all cases. The pathology of the excretory lacrymal pathways, the surgical technique and the detailed results will be presented.

[Is there a role for functional sinus surgery in children?].

This retrospective study is based on 16 children operated for Functional Endonasal Sinus Surgery (FESS) in the ENT division of the La Chaux-de-Fonds Hospital. We discuss pathologies predisposing to chronic sinusitis, their medical and surgical treatment. Finally the results of Functional Endonasal Sinus Surgery in this study is compared to the findings in other studies in the current literature.

[Anterior sinusitis: indications for and results of endoscopic surgery].

With the exclusion of posterior or diffuse disease, anterior sinusitis is an inflammatory process affecting one or more cells draining through the middle meatus. When medical treatment fails, functional endoscopic surgery is indicated. Two hundred and three surgical cases are reviewed. Anterior sinusitis forms 44% of the surgical indications. Twenty months later, 80% obtain good or very good subjective and objective results. In 20% the quality is poor with suppuration. When suppuration persists, further endoscopic or radical surgery is indicated. In this series, complication rate is low. Endoscopic surgery advantages are discussed.
