Summary
Intranasal micro-endoscopic ethmoidectomy carries risks, with orbital periosteum injury more common on the right. Using microscopes, endoscopes, and CT scans can help surgeons avoid major complications during ethmoidectomy procedures.
Area of Science:
- Otolaryngology
- Neurosurgery
- Medical Imaging
Context:
- Intranasal micro-endoscopic ethmoidectomy is a common surgical procedure.
- Understanding potential complications is crucial for patient safety.
- Surgeon positioning may influence complication rates.
Purpose:
- To analyze the frequency and anatomical location of major complications during intranasal micro-endoscopic ethmoidectomy.
- To identify risk factors associated with specific surgical sites and surgeon laterality.
- To evaluate the utility of advanced imaging and visualization tools in mitigating surgical risks.
Summary:
- Orbital periosteum injury occurred more frequently on the right side compared to the left.
- No significant side predominance was observed for dura mater damage.
- Surgery on the lamina papyracea and sphenoid sinus lateral wall poses higher risks on the surgeon's ipsilateral side.
- The use of microscopes, endoscopes, and preoperative CT scans aids in preventing major complications.
Impact:
- Provides data to improve surgical planning and technique for intranasal ethmoidectomy.
- Highlights the importance of surgeon awareness regarding side-specific risks.
- Emphasizes the role of technology in enhancing surgical safety and reducing adverse events in sinonasal surgery.
