BACKGROUND. Indications for endoscopic sinus surgery have been widely expanding since its introduction, to such an extent that it is now accepted as the ideal method for the treatment of some orbital conditions. Endoscopic approach to orbits provides excellent visualization with minimal cosmetic and functional morbidity.
MATERIAL AND METHODS. This descriptive study has been conducted in the Department of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, KMC, Manipal, during July 2010 and July 2014. We evaluated the role of endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) as a surgical mode of treatment in different types of orbital diseases.
RESULTS. 24 patients underwent ESS approach for various ophthalmologic conditions.
CONCLUSION. Results from our studies showed that the endoscopic sinus surgery approach is effective and has better results than an open approach in the management of certain types of orbital pathology.
