Summary

Trephination and endoscopic surgery are options for acute eroding sinusitis. Bioactive glass shows promise for persistent infections after other surgical failures.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Neurosurgery

Background:

  • Acute eroding sinusitis often requires surgical intervention when medical therapy fails.
  • Trephination is a primary surgical option for drainage to prevent severe complications.
  • Endoscopic transnasal surgery is increasingly used for ostiomeatal unit disease and nasofrontal duct opening.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate surgical approaches for acute eroding sinusitis.
  • To assess the efficacy of different surgical techniques and obliteration materials.

Main Methods:

  • Review of surgical interventions for acute eroding sinusitis, including trephination and endoscopic transnasal surgery.
  • Analysis of outcomes for secondary endoscopic frontal sinus surgery after trephination and CT examination.
  • Evaluation of external osteoplastic approach with bioactive glass obliteration for persistent chronic infections.

Main Results:

  • Failures are common with both trephination and endoscopic approaches, often necessitating combined treatments.
  • Persistent chronic frontal sinus infections occurred in 3% of patients.
  • Bioactive glass obliteration in external osteoplastic procedures yielded promising clinical results.

Conclusions:

  • Surgical management of acute eroding sinusitis may require multiple interventions.
  • External osteoplastic approach with bioactive glass is a viable option for refractory chronic frontal sinus infections.
