Transnasal endoscopic surgery of frontal recess and sinus osteoma
Journal Title: Polski Przegląd Otorynolaryngologiczny - Year 2012, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Traditionally frontal sinus and recess osteomas were managed via external approaches such as Lynch or osteoplastic flp procedure. Popularization of curved irrigated burrs, high defiition cameras and image guidance made purely endoscopic removal of frontal sinus osteomas feasible and safe. In this article technical aspects of endonasal endoscopic removal of these tumors are discussed. The tumors of the frontal recess usually can be removed using Draf IIa approach while these located in the ostium and inside of the sinus require type IIb, extended IIb or type III drainage. Important for safe tumor removal is to follow the borderline betwe.
