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.
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 ...
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.
1 lut 2022 · This review discusses the current evidence on treatment of the MT during and after ESS. Recent findings: Several review articles have shown the safety of performing MT resection. Studies have not shown increase rates of frontal sinus stenosis, olfactory loss, or empty nose syndrome.
When medical treatment fails, endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) is considered. In the present study, the value of two different therapies for the middle turbinate to optimize surgical outcomes was observed.
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.
Background: The middle turbinate (MT) is a structure that is often carefully preserved during endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) in an effort to preserve nasal physiology and serve as an anatomic landmark.
