An ethmoidectomy is a surgical procedure in which tissue from the ethmoid sinus cavity is removed. The procedure is usually used to treat chronic sinusitis.
Ethmoidectomy is often done in a same day surgical center and is often done in conjunction with other ENT procedures, such as sub-mucousal resections, maxillary anastrostomies, and nasal septal deviation repair.
