ABSTRACT Postoperative care is a crucial aspect for the success of paranasal sinus interventions. Basic procedures include saline nasal wash, which should be started on the first postoperative day, topical steroids, and antibiotics in cases of infection. Medical treatment involves aspiration of secretion in the inferior meatus during the first week. Removal of scabs in the surgical field should be carri ed out under endoscopic control beginning at the second week. Intervals are scheduled individually. Occlusion of the nose for the time of epithelium regeneration provides a moist space in the ethmoid, which improves wound healing.
