Safety and outcome of balloon catheter
Sinusotomy, a multicenter 24 weeks analysis in 115 patients, Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg.
Another case has been reported by Jennifer L Peterson et al in 2012 where the patient underwent an extensive surgical resection, which involved a right anterior and posterior ethmoidectomy, sphenoidotomy, a maxillary antrostomy, and a frontal
sinusotomy with the removal of contents and an inferior turbinate reduction.
Several surgical approaches to the frontal sinus have been described, including frontal
sinusotomy, endoscopic endonasal
sinusotomy, and various combined approaches that involve both endoscopic techniques and frontal sinus trephination (FST).
The patient underwent an endoscopic left modified medial maxillectomy and left frontal
sinusotomy.
the pterygopalatine or infratemporal part) was reached via a wide maxillary
sinusotomy.
Recently, Kutluhan et al reported the effect of uncinectomy without
sinusotomy and natural ostial dilation on maxillary sinus ventilation in chronic rhinosinusitis.
A total left ethmoidectomy and maxillary
sinusotomy were carried out, and the mucocele was removed (figure, C).
A right powered endoscopic sphenoid
sinusotomy was performed with a 0[degrees] telescope and a microdebrider (figure, D).
To avoid long-term complications, adequate drainage and
sinusotomy for postoperative follow-up are recommended.
We also performed bilateral revision anterior and posterior ethmoidectomies, a right frontal
sinusotomy, and a reduction of the inferior turbinates.
The mini-osteoplastic frontal
sinusotomy provided direct access and wide exposure to the lesion.
Symptomatic concha bullosa of the superior turbinate with sphenoid sinusitis will respond to a partial superior turbinectomy combined with sphenoid
sinusotomy.
