Osteoplastic endonasal approach to the maxillary sinus. 1994

Department of Otorhinolaryngology, University Erlangen/Nurnberg, Germany.

A new surgical approach for removal of isolated maxillary sinus pathology, mainly of symptomatic maxillary sinus cysts, is presented. It is based on the principles of osteoplastic sinus surgery and uses the transnasal approach. It allows a safe removal under direct vision or endoscopic control with standard surgical instrumentation. The normal maxillary ostium and healthy ethmoidal cells are not sacrificed and thus the lymphatic pathways as well as the mucociliary transport are not endangered.

Endoscopy involves passing an optical instrument through a small incision in the skin i.e., percutaneous; or through a natural orifice and along natural body pathways such as the digestive tract; and/or through an incision in the wall of a tubular structure or organ, i.e. transluminal, to examine or perform surgery on the interior parts of the body.

D013524 Surgical Flaps Tongues of skin and subcutaneous tissue, sometimes including muscle, cut away from the underlying parts but often still attached at one end. They retain their own microvasculature which is also transferred to the new site. They are often used in plastic surgery for filling a defect in a neighboring region.
