PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Successful revision endoscopic sinus surgery requires careful preoperative planning, meticulous intraoperative techniques, and ongoing postoperative care. Sinus surgeons can optimize the chances of success by adopting various tips and tricks, which will avoid disappointing outcomes for both patients and physicians. This international panel brings together some of the top sinus surgeons from Canada, US, and Chile to share some of their technical pearls, tips, and tricks for the pre-op, intra-op, and the post-op management of revision sinus surgery garnered through their fellowship training and years of experience. Through the use of short presentations and operative videos, topics to be covered include reasons for failure of primary ESS, operative techniques used in revision ESS, landmark identification during revision surgery, as well as preoperative and postoperative care to ensure overall positive surgical outcomes.

OUTCOME OBJECTIVE 1: • To understand the reasons for failure of primary endoscopic sinus surgery

OUTCOME OBJECTIVE 2: • To present a stepwise approach to landmark identification during revision surgery

OUTCOME OBJECTIVE 3: • To present tips/tricks in the pre-operative, intra-operative, and post-operative care of the revision sinus surgery patient

BACKGROUND STATEMENT: Need for the teaching of effective surgical techniques in revision sinus surgery to help improve patient outcome and avoid complications.
