Abstract

Purpose: Study of the сlinical and morphological data of polyposis sinusitis.Materials and Methods: Clinical and morphological data for 48 patients of polyposis sinusitis were studied. Patients were hospitalized in Otolaryngology in-patient department in connection with the polyps of nose during 2009–2011. Surgical treatment with the revision of middle nasal motion was conducted with the use of endoscopic technique.
