Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Anatomy

Background:

  • Endonasal surgery has advanced with microscopy and endoscopy.
  • Despite technological improvements, surgical complications remain a concern.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the potential complications associated with ethmoidectomy.
  • To present strategies for preventing these surgical complications.

Main Methods:

  • Review of anatomical knowledge pertinent to ethmoid sinus cavities.
  • Discussion of a gradual, apprenticeship-based surgical training approach.

Main Results:

  • Ethmoidectomy is associated with specific, identifiable complications.
  • Thorough anatomical understanding and progressive skill development are key preventive measures.

Conclusions:

  • Endoscopic techniques enhance endonasal surgery but do not eliminate risks.
  • Preventing ethmoidectomy complications relies on deep anatomical knowledge and careful surgical training.
