[PMID: 38943901 DOI: 10.1016/j.anl.2024.06.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2023] [Revised: 06/03/2024] [Accepted: 06/20/2024] [Indexed: 07/01/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to evaluate the presence of residual Plus Moist HS-W (PM), a novel calcium alginate packing material, during the initial postoperative visit following endoscopic sinus surgery. The research aims to identify factors that influence the quantity of remaining PM. METHODS A retrospective review of medical records was conducted for patients who underwent middle meatus packing with PM. RESULTS A total of fifty-two patients (representing 92 sides of paranasal sinuses) were included in the analysis. The remaining PM was classified as follows: absent (0) in 41 out of 92 cases, minimal (1) in 22 out of 92 cases, moderate (2) in 15 out of 92 cases, and substantial (3) in 14 out of 92 cases. Notably, all three patients who underwent Draf III surgery exhibited a significant amount of PM during their initial visit, with two patients classified as grade 2 and one patient as grade 3. Other factors investigated were found to be unrelated to the persistence of PM. Removal of all PM was achieved effortlessly using suction under flexible endoscopy. CONCLUSION This study highlights the efficacy of PM in post-endoscopic sinus surgery care. It is important to limit an amount of PM, particularly in Draf III procedures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extended endonasal endoscopic frontal sinus surgery is characterized by bone resection beyond the lamellae of the frontal sinus and is currently classified according to Draf as type IIa, type IIb, modified type III (also referred to as type IIc), and type III. This approach is indicated when the surgical goal cannot be achieved through complete removal of the anterior ethmoidal cells. Numerous studies indicate restenosis rates ranging from 7 to 36%, despite creation of maximal openings. Exposed bone, which tends to epithelize slowly with significant crusting and the risk of uncontrolled wound healing depending on the local environment and other factors, is considered a contributing factor. Covering the exposed bone with mucosa can significantly reduce the risk of restenosis. METHODS AND RESULTS A variety of flap techniques for frontal sinus drainage in Draf III procedures are presented, including some variants that were part of presentations at the 2023 Congress of the European Rhinologic Society in Sofia, Bulgaria. These include combinations of free mucosal grafts, pedicled mucosal flaps, and hybrids combining both techniques. Additionally, the results of current studies are presented. CONCLUSION The results and achieved opening areas in contemporary Draf III surgeries are significantly improved and larger compared to the early stages of these procedures. A multitude of published studies consistently demonstrate that outcomes are markedly improved with mucosal coverage. Depending on the prevailing anatomy, mucosal conditions, and the extent of the surgical intervention, the most suitable technique should be selected. Therefore, proficiency in various methods is crucial. The use of a flap technique (free, pedicled, or combinations thereof) should be defined as the standard when performing extended frontal sinus surgery (Draf IIb, IIc, III, or endonasal frontal sinus surgery [EFSS] 4-6).

Abstract
A critical procedure in the transcribriform approach is the resection of the crista galli. However, the standard technique for crista galli resection has several disadvantages. We reviewed the cases of patients with olfactory neuroblastomas who underwent an endoscopic endonasal transcribriform approach using a newly developed technique for crista galli resection. We performed a cadaveric study to measure the superior accessibility limits using the proposed method. We included 38 patients with olfactory neuroblastomas in this study. The tumor invaded the posterior crista galli in four patients. The anterior end of the crista galli was not invaded by the tumor. Our cadaveric study showed that the dura was approachable to the point that was 7.4 ± 1.3 mm superior and 23.2 ± 7.2 mm lateral to the foramen cecum following crista galli removal. By resecting the crista galli in advance, manipulation of the superior dura became feasible.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is comprised of a diverse group of endotypes that cause significant morbidity for afflicted patients. While endoscopic sinus surgery helps ameliorate the disease, polyps frequently recur. Newer strategies are intended to provide access for topical steroid irrigations in attempts to improve the disease process and quality of life, and decrease overall recurrence of polyps. OBJECTIVE To review the current literature examining the latest surgical approaches for CRSwNP. METHODS Review article. RESULTS In dealing with the recalcitrant nature of CRSwNP, surgical techniques have simultaneously become more nuanced and aggressive. Bony resection in anatomically unfavorable areas such as the frontal, maxillary, and sphenoid outflow regions, replacing diseased or denuded mucosa with healthy grafts or flaps at the neo-ostia, and introducing drug-eluting biomaterials to newly opened sinus outflow tracts are highlights in the recent advancements in sinus surgery for CRSwNP. The Draf 3 or modified endoscopic Lothrop procedure has become a standard technique and demonstrated to improve quality of life and decrease polyp recurrence. A number of mucosal grafting or mucosal flap techniques have been described that cover exposed bone of the neo-ostium and evidence shows that this improves healing and diameter of the Draf 3. Partial middle turbinectomy, while controversial, appears to help decrease polyp recurrence in long-term follow-up studies. Modified endoscopic medial maxillectomy improves access to the maxillary sinus mucosa, facilitates debridement and, particularly, in the cystic fibrosis nasal polyp patient, improves overall management of the disease. Sphenoid drill-out procedure provides wider access for topical steroid irrigations and also may improve management of CRSwNP. CONCLUSION Surgical intervention remains a mainstay of therapy for CRSwNP. Newer techniques revolve around improving access for topical steroid therapy.

Abstract
In traditional open maxillectomy, identifying the posterior margin is difficult because of its deep location and bleeding from the pterygoid venous plexus. Here, we present our endoscope-assisted total en bloc maxillectomy technique and discuss its merits and demerits compared to previously reported methods. We developed an endoscope-assisted total en bloc maxillectomy procedure. We reviewed a series of total maxillectomies performed with and without endoscopic assistance to verify the advantages of endoscopic assistance over conventional total maxillectomy. We analyzed (1) the precision using the distance of the remaining pterygoid process, (2) the operation time, and (3) blood loss. The length of the remnant pterygoid process was significantly shorter in the endoscopic assistance group. The operation time and blood loss were not significantly different between the two groups. Endoscopic assistance makes total maxillectomy more precise without requiring additional time and is a reasonable option for total maxillectomies.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Despite the impressive evolutions in endoscopic endonasal approaches and instrumentations, the frontal sinus remains a challenging area. Different surgical options have been described over the years, but the main criticism lies in choosing the most suitable approach for a given case, based on the anatomy of each patient and the disease to treat. The purpose of this study is to provide a comprehensive review of surgical access strategies currently available to address the frontal sinus, including both endonasal and traditional external procedures, analysing indications, contraindications, complications and outcomes. RECENT FINDINGS Frontal sinus surgery includes minimally invasive endonasal approaches (balloon dilatation, Draf type I); extended endonasal approaches (Draf type IIA-IIB-IIC, Draf type III and their modifications via orbital transposition and contralateral pyriform aperture resection); external procedures (superior eyelid incision, frontal osteoplastic flap, Riedel procedure, Riedel-Mosher operation); and combined approaches. SUMMARY Recent advances in endoscopic endonasal techniques have deeply reshaped the surgical options to manage frontal sinus diseases, in an attempt to minimize the invasiveness of the procedures and maximize their outcomes. Traditional external procedures should be used in selected cases nonamenable for endonasal surgery. The appropriate selection of cases appears to be of paramount importance to obtain successful outcomes.

Abstract
Purpose The Draf IIb procedure allows the widest unilateral access to the frontal sinus in a minimally invasive fashion, with efficiency and safety comparable to the Draf III. However, this technique is still associated with a high postoperative stenosis rate. The exposure of drilled bone induces osteitis predisposing to scarring and neo-osteogenesis causing ostium restenosis. We developed a novel lateral inferior pedicle flap (LIPF) to cover the exposed bone and prevent restenosis during Draf IIb. We aimed to describe our technique. Methods Adult patients requiring a Draf IIb for unilateral recurrent frontal sinus disease were prospectively enrolled. A LIPF technique was systematically performed. Demographics and complications were recorded. The primary outcome measure was neo-ostium patency at 12 months. In patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), the clinical control rate was evaluated at 12 months. Results 59 patients underwent the Draf IIb with LIPF technique from 2013 to 2021. 49 patients (20 women/29 men, median age of 48.0 years) completed at least 12 months of follow-up (median 41.0 months, range 12–100 months). Indications included recalcitrant CRS (n = 32), inverted papilloma (n = 9) and frontal mucocele (n = 8). Overall, the neo-ostium remained patent at 12 months in all patients, and the clinical control rate of 32 patients with recalcitrant CRS at 12 months was 100%. No main complications were recorded. Conclusion The LIPF technique was associated with a high rate of success for a Draf IIb.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Advances in technique and instrumentation have improved outcomes after resection of anterior skull base tumors. However, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak occurs in 4%-20% of patients. To reduce the risk of CSF leak, we have developed a novel reconstruction technique that consists of a 4-layered graft with patchwork suturing and hard material. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness of this reconstruction technique when used for resection of anterior skull base tumors. METHODS This case series included 59 patients with anterior skull base tumors in whom the 4-layered closure technique was used. The main outcome measures were complications, including CSF leak, meningitis, postoperative bleeding, and infection. RESULTS There were no CSF leak cases or serious complications after closure of the anterior skull base using the 4-layered technique. CONCLUSION Closure of the anterior skull base in 4 layers prevented CSF leak and was not associated with any serious complications. However, further studies in larger numbers of patients are needed to confirm our outcomes using this closure method.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW A significant complication of the frontal sinus drill-out procedure is restenosis of the frontal neo-ostium. To improve postoperative healing in this region, various mucosal grafts and pedicled flaps have been designed to reconstruct the mucosal lining of the frontal neo-ostium. We provide an overview of the types of grafts described for reconstruction and discuss the latest evidence on their efficacy. RECENT FINDINGS Frontal neo-ostium mucosal reconstruction may be performed using free, pedicled, or a combination of grafts. There are several case series that report good outcomes and low revision rates following the use of grafts in frontal sinus drill-outs, and one randomized controlled study demonstrating increased ostial patency. However, the use of grafts did not alter the rate of revision surgery and only one study reported an improvement in Sino-Nasal Outcome Test-22 scores after one year. SUMMARY Studies have suggested that frontal sinus drill-out grafts result in favorable restenosis and graft success rates. However, larger randomized control trials will be required to determine whether frontal sinus drill-out grafts contribute to a tangible clinical benefit for patients.
