Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine which technique of uncinectomy, classical or swing door technique.  Materials and Methods: Four hundred eighty Cases of sinusitis were selected and operated for Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS). Out of these, in 240 uncinectomies classical uncinectomy was done whereas in another 240 uncinectomies swing door technique was used. In...

Objective: the superior attachment of uncinate process (SAUP) is highly variable. Lateral types SAUP are associated with frontal rhinosinusitis. in middle turbinate more common when aerated. We aim to refine these findings by studying relationship between type and different subtypes pneumatization turbinate. Methods: 200 CT sinonasal scans were analyzed an otolaryngologist a radiologist. All st...

PURPOSE To assess the incidence of operative difficulties in endonasal endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomies, as well as to suggest solutions. METHODS This retrospective study searched for reports of complications and intraoperative difficulties in our records of 268 endoscopic endonasal dacryocystorhinostomies, in 241 patients, performed from October 1999 to August 2005. The patients' age range...

Acute posttraumatic enophthalmos is a well-known symptom occurring in orbital blowout fractures. Its late onset in the absence of radiologic evidence of displaced fractures is rare and traditionally attributed to ischemic liponecrosis or fibrotic scarring of endo-orbital soft tissues. In this article, we describe a case of facial trauma, diagnosed and treated at the Maxillo-Facial Surgical Depa...

Introduction: The study was conducted to asses if septoplasty is adequate for the management of chronic maxillary sinusitis. Chronic maxillary sinusitis is not uncommonly associated with deviated nasal septum (DNS). The randomized study was conducted on 40 cases of medically unmanageable and HRCT proven chronic maxillary sinusitis with DNS. Materials and methods: The study was conducted in 40 c...

Background: The rapid development of endoscopic endonasal surgery has made the procedure widely used in nasal and sinus surgery. Endoscopic is a minimally invasive procedure, but possibility postoperative damage to sinonasal mucosa cannot be ruled out. aim this study was analyze difference length care between complex simple surgeries which can as reference planning c...

Antrochoanal polyp is a benign polypoid lesion arising from the oedematous mucosa of the maxillary sinus and extending through the maxillary ostium into the nose. In children, it constitutes 33% of all nasal polyps. Surgery is the usual treatment for antrochoanal polyps. The primary aim of treatment for antrochoanal polyp is complete removal with total clearance of the maxillary sinus. Herein, ...

OBJECTIVES The relationship between a particular surgical technique in endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) and airflow changes in the post-operative olfactory region has not been assessed. The present study aimed to compare olfactory airflow after ESS between conventional ethmoidectomy and ethmoidectomy with superior meatus enlargement, using virtual ESS and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analys...
