Effects of Adrenaline Infiltration on Surgical Field of View in Endoscopic Sinus Surgery

In endoscopic sinus surgery a clear surgical field of view is a very important aspect for good surgical outcome. This study is to evaluate the preoperative preparation to acquire best surgical field of view by comparing between the use of topical adrenaline and the use of combination of topical adrenaline with infiltration of 1% lidocaine with adrenaline in patients scheduled for endoscopic sinus surgery for rhinosinusitis.
