Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Rhinology

Background:

  • Maxillary sinus pathology, particularly symptomatic cysts, requires effective surgical management.
  • Traditional approaches may risk compromising sinus function.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a new transnasal, osteoplastic surgical approach for isolated maxillary sinus pathology.
  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of this technique, focusing on preserving sinus function.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized principles of osteoplastic sinus surgery via a transnasal approach.
  • Employed direct vision or endoscopic control with standard surgical instrumentation.
  • Focused on removal of symptomatic maxillary sinus cysts.

Main Results:

  • Achieved safe removal of maxillary sinus pathology.
  • Preserved the normal maxillary ostium and healthy ethmoidal cells.
  • Maintained lymphatic pathways and mucociliary transport.

Conclusions:

  • The presented transnasal, osteoplastic technique is a safe and effective method for managing maxillary sinus pathology.
  • This approach successfully preserves essential sinus functions, offering a significant advantage over potentially damaging alternatives.
