Introduction: E.S.S focuses on treating the underlying cause of the problem. This permits direct visualization of the maxillary sinuses and diseased or obstructive tissue which can be removed if necessary. There is often less removal of normal tissue and surgery can frequently be performed on an outpatient basis.

Objectives: A Hospital based case control study will be performed at Department of Otorhinolaryngology AlZahrae university hospital

Methods: 30 patients with bilateral Chronic Rhinosinusitis not responding to proper medical treatment. Each of the thirty patients of the study group will undergo randomly uncinectomy with ostium preservation technique on one side and uncinectomy with middle meatal antrostomy on the other side.

Keywords: Maxillary Sinus Ostium Preservation; Middle Meatotomy; Chronic Maxillary Sinusitis
