【Objective】 To explore the reason of recurrent frontal sinuitis after endoscopic surgery. 【Methods】 74 patients who suffered from recurrent frontal sinuitis received reoperation under endoscope from2009 to 2012. 【Results】 103 frontal recesses were explored in reoperation and blockage of frontal recess was following five reasons: mucosal disease (67%); residul cells (64%); middle turbinate shift (30%); fiber hyperplasia(14%); hyperostosis (7%). Multi-factors were found frequently in one case. 【Conclusion】 Failure in frontal surgery can be due to blockage of frontal recess by multiple agents. Complete drainage of frontal recess through proper method could avoid failure.
