Abstract
Nose and paranasal sinus operations require various specific surgical instruments as they deal with relatively narrow, complicated and deep operative fields. These instruments should meet the specific uses in such operative fields, accordingly, they need to be thin, easy to handle, sturdy and sure to bite small tissues in the sinuses.
We now use the instruments which were devised many years ago by Hajek, Killian, Frankel and others.
Although conceding that many of them are still useful today the author devised 18 new instruments for a more easier operation in the narrow field. The new instruments which were found to be particularly useful are chisels for use in antral opening, Rongeur, operative nasal speculum and revised Grunwald nasal forceps for use in children.
