Navigating Risks and Challenges: Complications of Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (2025 AMW)

Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) is a widely performed procedure for treating chronic sinusitis and other sinonasal conditions. While generally safe, complications can occur due to the complex anatomy of the paranasal sinuses and their proximity to critical structures, such as the orbit and skull base. Complications in endoscopic sinus surgery are rare but can have devastating patient outcomes. It is often difficult for surgeons to feel prepared for these infrequent encounters. Mitigating complications requires a thorough understanding of the anatomy and meticulous surgical planning. This panel focuses on enhancing practical knowledge for the prevention and management of such complications.
