    Summary

    This study introduces physiologic maxillary antrostomy, a surgical technique simplifying maxillary sinus procedures and reducing complications associated with the Caldwell-Luc approach. It details methods for lesion removal while preserving the sinus lining and inserting ventilation tubes.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • The Caldwell-Luc procedure, while effective, is associated with significant sequelae.
    • A need exists for less invasive maxillary sinus surgical techniques.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a novel surgical approach: physiologic maxillary antrostomy.
    • To describe the indications, contraindications, and technique for this procedure.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing an osteoplastic flap (trapdoor) technique to access the maxillary sinus.
    • Performing lesion removal while preserving the sinus mucosa.
    • Placing a ventilation tube in the natural ostium.

    Main Results:

    • The described technique simplifies surgery within or through the maxillary sinus.
    • This method largely overcomes the severe sequelae of the Caldwell-Luc surgery.

    Conclusions:

    • Physiologic maxillary antrostomy offers a simplified and less morbid alternative for maxillary sinus surgery.
    • The technique allows for effective lesion management and sinus ventilation.
