Summary:Keypoints • Removal of the soft tissue lesions from the maxillary sinus is sometimes difficult and time consuming in endoscopic sinus surgery. • Failure of endoscopic removal may necessitate combination of canine fossa approach and endoscopic approach. • Our new instrument, ‘Derevator’, is designed for easy removal of the pathological soft tissue lesions from the maxillary sinus through middle meatal antrostomy. • Derevators are available for both adults and children. Suction‐tipped ones are also available.
