Background: The middle turbinate is an important landmark during endoscopic sinus procedures. Well orientation of the appro - priate planes, attachments and relations of the different parts of the middle turbinate helps achieve safe and effective endoscopic sinus surgery.
11 lip 2024 · Middle turbinate (MT) surgery is extremely common during endoscopic sinus surgery procedures, though no agreement exists on which techniques provide the best outcomes. This PRISMA-compliant systematic review aims to assess which MT surgery technique yields the least postoperative adverse effects and the best objective and subjective outcomes.
3 sty 2022 · The middle turbinate vertical insertion at the skull base is an important surgical landmark during endoscopic sinus surgery. Surgeons generally attempt to stay lateral to the middle turbinate in an effort to avoid inadvertently causing a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak.
Surgical therapy of the inferior and/or middle turbinate is indicated when conservative treatment options have failed. The desired goal is a reduction of the soft tissue volume of the turbinates regarding the individual anatomic findings, whilst simultaneously conserving as much mucosa as possible.
The preservation of middle turbinate is one of the major goals of functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). Middle turbinate intervention is essential to prevent obliteration of osteomeatal complex. The aim of this prospective study is to postulate which middle turbinate intervention is most effective and compare the results with conventional ...
19 cze 2021 · The middle turbinate (MT) is an anatomical structure inside the nasal cavity that plays an important function in nasal air flow and olfaction . It is considered a landmark in functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) that helps in the identification of the skull base, ethmoid cells, and lamina papyracea [2-3].
The middle turbinate projects into the central nasal cavity and resides next to the nasal septum. It is attached to the lateral nasal wall posteriorly just above the inferior turbinate but behind the maxillary, or cheek, sinus. Superiorly, it inserts along the lateral nasal wall and skull base.
