MODERN METHODS FOR TREATING THE DISORDERS IN MILITARY AERONAUTICAL PERSONNEL– DELAYED SURGERY IN RHINOSINUSITIS MANAGEMENT-

Summary/Abstract: Rhinosinusitis is a common cause of military aeronautical personnel temporary inability to work properly. The effective management of this condition would lead, according to the authors, not only to diminishing the cost associated with medication but also to increasing the military physical ability to conduct specific missions. The authors consider that antibiotics are excessively used to treat rhinosinusitis, as well as that both the ENT specialist and the general practitioner tend to prescribe antibiotics for long periods of time, which determines the partial and temporary remission of symptoms. Another aspect that should be also considered is that the antibiotic cannot cure all forms of sinusitis, the surgical treatment being a safe and effective management method in such cases.
