The postoperative care after endoscopic sinus surgery is very important, and it is above all important to remove crusts using endoscopes. ENF-Y0002 [Short endoscope (Semi-rigid type)], the electronic fiberscope which is under development by Olympus Corporation, has characters of both rigid and flexible endoscope. We used it for observation and treatment after endoscopic sinus surgery and we examined the usefulness and reported refinements.
Although there is still room for the development, a possibility to become the useful instrument for the postoperative care is suggested.
