Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Techniques
  • Sinus Surgery

Background:

  • Uncinectomy is a key procedure in functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS).
  • Various techniques exist for performing uncinectomy, including standard and swing door methods.
  • Chronic maxillary sinusitis often necessitates surgical intervention like uncinectomy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the efficacy and complication rates of the standard versus the swing door technique for uncinectomy.
  • To evaluate postoperative outcomes in patients with chronic maxillary sinusitis undergoing FESS.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective controlled study involving 60 patients with chronic maxillary sinusitis.
  • Patients were randomly assigned to undergo uncinectomy using either the standard technique (Group A) or the swing door technique (Group B).
  • Outcomes measured included symptom improvement (visual analogue scale) and complication rates.

Main Results:

  • The swing door technique group (Group B) demonstrated superior symptom improvement (mean VAS 80.58) compared to the standard technique group (Group A, mean VAS 78.50).
  • Minor complication rates were significantly lower in the swing door technique group (6.7% at week 2, 0% at week 6) versus the standard technique group (26.7% at week 2, 3.3% at week 6).
  • No major complications were reported in either group.

Conclusions:

  • The swing door technique for uncinectomy is associated with better postoperative results in FESS.
  • This technique leads to a statistically significant reduction in minor postoperative complications compared to the standard uncinectomy technique.
