Area of Science:

Otolaryngology
Rhinologic Surgery

Background:

Chronic, recurrent advanced pansinusitis requires effective treatment.
The antro-ethmosphenoidectomy technique has evolved over 50 years.

Observation:

The trans-antral approach to ethmoid and sphenoid sinuses was initially described over a century ago.
This surgical method was abandoned for over two decades before renewed interest.

Findings:

Antro-ethmosphenoidectomy provides a thorough and safe treatment for advanced pansinusitis.
The procedure offers wide visual surgical exposure.

Implications:

This technique is ideally suited for pituitary, skull base, and orbital decompression procedures.
Modern concepts in nasal physiology and rhinologic surgery have influenced the procedure's revival.
