Pediatric Functional Endonasal Sinus Surgery: Preoperative Evaluation, Surgical Technique, and Postoperative Care

The authors present a retrospective study evaluating the results of calcaneonavicular bar resection with interposition of the extensor digitorum brevis in ten patients with painful calcaneonavicular coalition. All operative procedures were supervised by one of the authors to ensure consistency in preoperative evaluation, surgical technique, and postoperative care. Results obtained from questionnaires showed significant improvement of preoperative symptoms with increased activity levels noted in all patients.

Septal Spur

A variety of surgical approaches exists for the management of nasal septal spurs in patients who undergo endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). Treatment of septal spurs in the past has been frequently addressed by septoplasty which can result in increased bleeding and length of surgical procedure as well as mandate postoperative nasal packing. Individually each of these problems can jeopardize the success of endoscopic sinus surgery. An endoscopic approach, which targets the septal spur alone, can minimize perioperative morbidity. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the effectiveness of endoscopic septal spur resection (ESSR) for the management of significant septal spurs in 8 patients who underwent concurrent ESSR during ESS for chronic sinusitis. Surgical technique and postoperative results are discussed and suggest that ESSR is a valuable alternative to more traditional techniques.

Upper Jaw

Many diseases of the human body, which need surgical treatment, require from the surgeon not only the elimination of this disease according to all the rules of surgical technique and modern asepsis, but also proper postoperative care. The latter is sometimes quite difficult, especially on wounds located near the so-called natural openings and on the path of the respiratory and digestive tract, due to the constant contamination of the wound by the separation and discharge of these pathways.
