Evaluating the safety of frontal sinus trephination.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS The depth of the frontal sinus was measured using axial computed tomography (CT) images to examine the safety of frontal sinus trephination at selected distances from the midline. STUDY DESIGN Review of 200 sinus CT scans. METHODS Two hundred sinus CT scans (400 frontal sinuses) were reviewed to measure the frontal sinus depth at 5 mm, 10 mm, and 15 mm from midline. ...
متن کاملContemporary applications of frontal sinus trephination: A systematic review of the literature.
Our objective was to perform a systematic review of the literature on contemporary indications and outcomes for frontal sinus trephination and present an illustrative case of an endoscopically assisted repair of a subcutaneous frontal sinus fistula by trephination technique. PubMed and Ovid databases were used as data sources. A systematic review of the English literature was completed to revie...
متن کاملModified glabellar rhytid incision for frontal sinus trephination.
INTRODUCTION Surgical management of the frontal sinus is more complex compared to the other sinuses. Testament to this fact is that for years the standard for refractory frontal disease has been the destructive procedure of an osteoplastic flap with complete obliteration of the sinus. With better understanding of the physiology of the paranasal sinuses, there has been a shift toward surgery dir...
متن کاملThe endoscopic-assisted trephination approach for repair of frontal sinus cerebrospinal fluid leaks.
INTRODUCTION Endoscopic techniques have been used extensively for the treatment of sinonasal skull base defects and resulting cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks. Endoscopic surgery allows for improved visualization, high success rates, reduced morbidity, and shorter hospital stays. Most ethmoid and sphenoid skull base defects can be repaired endoscopically, but endoscopic repair of frontal sinus d...
متن کاملMinitrephination of the frontal sinus: indications and uses in today's era of sinus surgery.
BACKGROUND This study reviews the role of frontal sinus minitrephination in today's era of endoscopic sinus surgery. Retrospective chart review was performed of 163 patients undergoing a total of 149 bilateral and 39 unilateral frontal sinus minitrephinations. METHODS Charts were reviewed for patient demographics and outcomes. Details obtained from the chart included type of surgery performed...
