19 cze 2024 · Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is a type of paranasal sinus surgery performed intranasally using a rigid endoscope. Its primary objective is to restore physiological ventilation and mucociliary transport 1.
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.
23 lis 2012 · CT Imaging Technique. At our institutions, axial CT images of the sinuses are acquired with 0.625-mm collimation. From the raw data, we reformat coronal, axial, and sagittal 2.5-mm-thick contiguous images with bone and soft-tissue algorithms. CT Assessment of Sinuses Before FESS.
19 cze 2021 · Introduction and background. The middle turbinate (MT) is an anatomical structure inside the nasal cavity that plays an important function in nasal air flow and olfaction [1]. 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].
8 lis 2018 · Despite previous evidence of increased delivery of nasal topical medication to the sinus cavities after ESS, our results show no objective endoscopic benefits of routine middle turbinectomy in the context of primary surgeries, at least within the first six postoperative months.
23 lis 2022 · The results showed that patients undergoing MT resection were more likely to have asthma, aspirin intolerance, nasal polyposis, or to have undergone prior sinus surgery. Patients who had MT resection had improved endoscopic scores and olfactory function postoperatively.
There was a large air cell within the middle turbinate that was exposed in this way. This opened up the middle meatus, so the lateral nasal wall was visible. Uncinectomy and maxillary antrostomy:
