The modified endoscopic Lothrop procedure (MELP) offers a successful surgical option for challenging frontal sinus diseases. This endoscopic approach resulted in wide openings and no recurrence in six patients.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Endoscopic Sinus Surgery

Background:

  • Frontal sinus disorders often require effective surgical interventions.
  • Recalcitrant cases present unique challenges for treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To detail the experience with the modified endoscopic Lothrop procedure (MELP).
  • To discuss the operative technique and indications for MELP in frontal sinus disease.

Main Methods:

  • Six patients with diverse frontal sinus pathologies underwent MELP.
  • Intranasal endoscopic approach utilized, with image-guidance in two cases.

Main Results:

  • All six patients achieved successful outcomes with no complications.
  • Average operative time was 3.2 hours.

  • Follow-up (6-40 months) showed wide frontal sinus openings, good epithelization, and no recurrence.

    • Conclusions:

    • MELP is an effective surgical method for recalcitrant frontal sinus disorders.
    • Proper patient selection and surgical expertise are crucial for optimal results.
