Removing soft tissue lesions from the maxillary sinus can be challenging. A new instrument, the Derevator, facilitates easier removal through the middle meatal antrostomy, simplifying endoscopic sinus surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Medical Devices

Background:

  • Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) for maxillary sinus lesions can be technically demanding.
  • Complete removal of soft tissue lesions via ESS is not always achievable.
  • Alternative approaches like the canine fossa approach may be required, increasing complexity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel surgical instrument, the 'Derevator', designed to simplify the removal of soft tissue lesions from the maxillary sinus.
  • To facilitate the removal of pathological tissues through the middle meatal antrostomy during endoscopic sinus surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Development and application of the 'Derevator' instrument.
  • Utilizing the middle meatal antrostomy for access to the maxillary sinus.

  • The instrument is designed for efficient extraction of soft tissue lesions.

    • Main Results:

    • The 'Derevator' simplifies the removal of soft tissue lesions from the maxillary sinus.
    • The instrument allows for easier extraction through the middle meatal antrostomy.
    • Available in versions for adults and children, including suction-tipped options.

    Conclusions:

    • The 'Derevator' offers an effective solution for challenging maxillary sinus lesion removals during ESS.
    • This innovation potentially reduces the need for combined surgical approaches.
    • The instrument enhances the efficiency and ease of endoscopic sinus procedures.
