Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) permits the direct visualization and treatment of various parts of the nasal cavities and sinuses which are otherwise inaccessible surgically.
Hirschmann (1903) is considered the father of endoscopy.
The main aim of Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) is to remove the diseased mucosa to relieve obstruction and restore natural sinus drainage, physiology and ventilation.

However it must be noted that complications are markedly reduced in skillful hands and with newer good instruments and imaging techniques.
