    AbstractFunctional endoscopic sinus surgery has become one of the most common head and neck procedures performed. Proper anesthetic management is essential for a successful outcome. Different anesthesia techniques are discussed that include: local versus general anesthesia, LMA versus ETT, inhaled anesthesia versus TIVA. The anesthetic plan should be tailored taking into consideration patient comorbidities, the surgeon and anesthesiologist experience, and individual preference. Specific anesthetic goals are to ensure the best possible surgical field and stable cardiovascular and respiratory status during the surgery, emergence of anesthesia, and upon recovery.Copyright © 2010 Elsevier Inc.
