Abstract
Bifrontal craniotomy frequently involves opening the frontal sinus and mucosal injury. We report a new technique for mucosal repair in the frontal sinus using surgical titanium microclips. Six consecutive patients who underwent bifrontal craniotomy with frontal sinus exposure and mucosal injury underwent mucosal repair using surgical titanium microclips between April 2019 and August 2022. In all cases, the frontal sinus mucosa was peeled from the inner walls of the frontal sinus to ensure sufficient mucosal margin for clipping using ORBEYE. The repair was accomplished with the microclips in all cases. We also sealed the mucosal wound using fibrin glue and sufficiently filled the frontal sinus with bone debris, resulting in zero incidence of postoperative liquorrhea in all cases. Repairing the mucosa using surgical titanium microclips using ORBEYE may be a simple and quick technique when the frontal sinus mucosa is injured during craniotomy.

Anatomy of the Frontal Sinus Drainage Pathway Evaluated in 247 Cadavers to Prevent Cerebrospinal Fluid Leakage After Frontobasal Craniotomy. Oper Neurosurg (Hagerstown) 2024; 26:54-63. [PMID: 37747348 DOI: 10.1227/ons.0000000000000916] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2023] [Accepted: 07/22/2023] [Indexed: 09/26/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The frontal sinus (FS) drainage pathway (FSDP) may be a conduit for cerebrospinal fluid leakage after frontobasal craniotomy. In this cadaveric study, we aimed to evaluate the anatomy of the FSDP. METHODS The FSs and FSDPs of 247 cadavers were investigated. We counted the number of FSs and FSDPs in each half-head, verified the presence of a narrowing section in each FSDP, and evaluated the depth, shape, and size of each narrowing FSDP section. RESULTS We investigated 494 sides and 472 FSDPs of 247 cadavers. FSs were unilaterally undeveloped in 13 of 247 cadavers (5.3%) and bilaterally in 8 (3.2%). FSs were unilaterally duplicated in 7 of 247 cadavers (2.8%), and no FSs were bilaterally duplicated or triplicated. No FSs had 2 or more FSDPs, and all 472 investigated FSDPs were invariably narrowed at various depths. The narrowing FSDP sections were elliptical (78.6%), circular (18.1%), triangular (1.8%), or crescent-shaped (1.4%) and of varying thickness and orientation. Although FSDPs were asymmetric in 92.2% of cadavers and narrowing FSDP sections were located deep (8.9 ± 4.4 mm from the anterior skull base), the narrowing FSDP sections were typically small (area: 5.9 ± 3.3 mm 2 ) or thin (short diameter: 2.1 ± 0.7 mm). CONCLUSION Each FS had only one FSDP, all FSDPs were invariably narrowed at various depths, and the narrowing FSDP sections were sufficiently small or thin to allow local closure, facilitating prevention of cerebrospinal fluid leakage after frontobasal craniotomy.

A practical and economical method for frontal sinus reconstruction after frontal craniotomy: A single-center experience with 140 patients. Front Surg 2022; 9:919276.

Abstract
Background Frontal sinus exposure is a common consequence of frontal craniotomy. Cerebrospinal fluid leakage and infection are the major postoperative complications that may occur as a result of the open frontal sinus. The successful filling of the open frontal sinus provides an approach to prevent significant complications caused by frontal sinus exposure. Objective This article describes a new technique to reconstruct the exposed frontal sinus cavity with the combined application of gelatin sponge and a vascularized pericranial flap. Methods A total of 140 patients underwent frontal sinus reconstruction using gelfoam and vascularized pericranial flaps from 2016 to 2021. Gelatin sponge was used to fill the frontal sinus, and a vascularized pericranial flap was used to cover the frontal sinus when the bone flap was retracted. Results Postoperative cerebrospinal fluid leakage and infection did not occur in any patient. Conclusion Our results validated the effectiveness of our technique in the prevention of exposed frontal sinus-related postoperative complications.
