The Caldwell-Luc operation revisited.

C T Yarington

    The Annals of Otology, Rhinology, and Laryngology
    |July 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    The Caldwell-Luc operation offers better disease eradication than intranasal antrostomy, despite higher morbidity. Further research is needed to clarify optimal surgical indications for chronic sinusitis treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Surgical Procedures
    • Sinusitis Treatment

    Background:

    • The choice between intranasal antrostomy and the Caldwell-Luc operation for sinusitis is debated.
    • Intranasal antrostomy may offer inadequate access and disease eradication.
    • The Caldwell-Luc procedure is associated with significant morbidity.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the literature on intranasal antrostomy versus the Caldwell-Luc operation.
    • To present the author's experience with over 270 Caldwell-Luc procedures.
    • To suggest technical considerations for successful Caldwell-Luc operations.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of surgical interventions for sinusitis.
    • Retrospective analysis of 270+ Caldwell-Luc operations.
    • Evaluation of surgical outcomes and complications.

    Main Results:

    • The Caldwell-Luc operation demonstrates effectiveness in disease eradication.
    • Technical modifications can improve Caldwell-Luc procedure outcomes.
    • Indications for intranasal antrostomy remain uncertain.

    Conclusions:

    • The Caldwell-Luc operation remains a viable option for sinusitis when performed with specific technical considerations.
    • Further studies are required to establish clear indications for intranasal antrostomy.
    • Balancing morbidity and efficacy is key in surgical decision-making for sinusitis.
