Abstract:	Endoscopic ethmoidectomy is the surgical technique, which consists in opening the entire ethmoidal labyrinth, in order to ensure favorable drainage of al paranasal sinuses. There are several techniques for completing endoscopic ethmoidectomy. In this paper, the authors present the technique used most frequently, based on their experience of more than 4000 endoscopic ethmoidectomies. Also, the goal of this paper is to share some “tips and tricks” on endoscopic ethmoidectomy, in order to perform a complete and safe ethmoidectomy and prevent complications.
