No more nasal congestion!　Sinus Magnetic Navigation helps the man with facial damage to regain his life.

A 60-year-old man, due to long-term severe nasal congestion and accompanied by excessive tear secretion, initially thought to be a common cold, after taking medication, but no effect, see the disease is becoming more serious, can not breathe to affect the effectiveness of the work and daily life, before deciding to the hospital for treatment. Taipei Veterans General Hospital Nose, Head and Neck Xu Zhihong director said that the computerized tomography examination found that the patient sieve sinus has a large cyst, the original him 2 years ago due to a serious car accident facial fracture, resulting in trauma to the lacrimal sacs, lacrimal ducts are also blocked, the sieve sinus drainage obstruction formation of cysts, perforation of the nasal diaphragm, the nose and sinus structure are destroyed, but because of the fear of surgery again, the delay in treating the symptoms of nasal congestion. Fortunately, with the Sinus Magnetic Navigation Surgery, the patient's nasal congestion and excessive tearing were successfully relieved. The dilemma of traditional sinus surgery Director Xu Zhihong explains, sinusitis means inflammation of the sinus cavity, the nasal cavity around the four pairs of cavities, respectively, for the frontal sinus, the sieve sinus, the pterygoid sinus, the upper jaw sinus, sinusitis medication for three months, that is, the definition of chronic sinusitis, surgical treatment is recommended. Traditional sinus surgery requires a knife from the face or nostrils, through the plane tomography scanning image, and the actual anatomical structure of the operation, the lesion of the mucous membrane or polyp removal, however, due to the fear of postoperative complications, for the lesion of the more dangerous areas, such as near the eyes and the base of the skull, most of the time to take a more conservative approach, do not dare to touch, but also one of the causes of the patient's recurrence of disease, such as the need for two surgeries, but also to increase the risk and injury; However, the above mentioned patient had a facial fracture, resulting in sinus cysts, obstruction of the lacrimal ducts, and structural variability of the sinuses, making endoscopic surgery difficult. Newer 3D sinus magnetic navigation is more accurate, safer, and reduces recurrence The Department of Rhinology, Head and Neck of Taipei Veterans General Hospital has introduced a magnetic navigation system for sinus surgery, which can quickly and accurately determine the location of the lesion through 3D images and increase the surgical precision for patients who have had two or more surgeries or have abnormalities of the nasal cavity structure; Dr. Chih-Hung Hsu emphasized that the patient mentioned above has different nasal structures due to the trauma of a car accident in the past. Dr. Hsu emphasized that the patient mentioned above had a different nasal structure due to the trauma of a car accident in the past. Using the navigation and positioning system together with endoscopic surgery, the cyst was successfully removed through the guidance of the navigation system, and the lacrimal ducts were penetrated, and a catheter was left in place from the lacrimal ducts to the lacrimal sacs, which has alleviated the symptoms of nasal congestion and tear overflow, and the patient has successfully returned to his normal life. Director Hsu Chih-Hong added that nowadays, with the rapid advancement of instruments and equipment, sinus surgery can be performed through endoscopic surgery with the assistance of a navigation system, which allows for clear, three-dimensional positioning, removing the lesion more thoroughly, reducing the possibility of recurrence, and avoiding the need to touch the surrounding important structures, which not only improves the safety of the surgery, but also boosts the confidence of the medical team, and makes patients feel more at ease. Director Hsu also reminds patients to avoid excessive force, heavy lifting or strenuous exercise within 2 days after surgery, and to seek medical treatment as soon as possible if they have symptoms of chronic sinusitis to minimize the inconvenience in their lives.
