Abstract:
Systematical partial liberation of the septal cartilage through limited resection of the perpendicular plate of the ethmoid and/or vomer, as prior of endoscopic nasosinusal surgery, eases the exposure and approach to the whole sinusal complex, especially to maxillary sinus, so facilitating and shortening the length of the procedure. Furthermore facilitates the entrance inside the surgical cavity during cures, also decreases the patient's nuisances and hinder the occurrence of some complications, as postoperative synechiae.
