[How good is the inferior meatal antrostomy in chronic maxillary sinusitis? (author's transl)]. 1978

W Mann

44 inferior meatal antrostomies in 32 patients with chronic maxillary sinusitis were followed at two month intervals over a period of two years. Closure of the antrostomy occurred in 29.4% of the cases reported. Allergy was unimportant for the operative result, nor was an increased frequency of infections demonstrated following surgery. Subsequently, improvement of sinusitis was noticable, even after closure of the fenestration. In contrast to other reports in the literature, mucociliary drainage from the maxillary sinus to the nose occurs through the operatively placed fenestra.

D009092	Mucous Membrane	An EPITHELIUM with MUCUS-secreting cells, such as GOBLET CELLS. It forms the lining of many body cavities, such as the DIGESTIVE TRACT, the RESPIRATORY TRACT, and the reproductive tract. Mucosa, rich in blood and lymph vessels, comprises an inner epithelium, a middle layer (lamina propria) of loose CONNECTIVE TISSUE, and an outer layer (muscularis mucosae) of SMOOTH MUSCLE CELLS that separates the mucosa from submucosa.
