    Summary

    Endoscopic middle meatal antrostomy effectively treats chronic maxillary sinusitis by restoring sinus drainage and aeration. This safe procedure demonstrated high success rates, with most patients experiencing significant symptom relief and improved sinus health.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Surgical Innovation
    • Rhinosinusitis Treatment

    Background:

    • Chronic maxillary sinusitis impairs sinus function.
    • Proper sinus aeration and drainage are crucial for treatment.
    • Middle meatal antrostomy addresses these functional deficits.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of endoscopic middle meatal antrostomy for chronic maxillary sinusitis.
    • To assess the patency of antrostomies and sinus health post-procedure.

    Main Methods:

    • Performed 94 endoscopic middle meatal antrostomies on 66 patients with chronic maxillary sinusitis.
    • Addressed anatomical variations and pathological abnormalities.
    • Followed patients for 4-12 months.

    Main Results:

    • 95.5% of patients reported subjective improvement.
    • 96.8% of antrostomies remained patent.
    • 94.7% of sinuses showed healthy mucosa post-procedure.

    Conclusions:

    • Endoscopic middle meatal antrostomy is a safe and effective treatment for chronic maxillary sinusitis.
    • The procedure leads to significant functional recovery and symptom resolution.
