The Impact

Endoscopic sinus surgery has gained acceptance in the otolaryngologic community as an effective and safe method of treating inflammatory disease of the paranasal sinuses. At our institution, partial endoscopic middle turbinectomy has become a standard component of the procedure and our experience is reported. Middle turbinectomy enhances surgical exposure, specific anatomic anomalies are more completely corrected, and subpopulations of patients at risk for failure because of their underlying disease enjoy decreased rates of synechiae formation and closure of the middle meatus antrostomy when followed over time. Photodocumentation of the surgical technique and a discussion regarding the impact of middle turbinectomy on normal nasal physiology are presented. It is reported that the procedure is safe, and no complications directly attributable to middle turbinectomy (including atrophic rhinitis) are reported in a series of 298 patients.

ABSTRACT Uncinate process is thought to be having role in controlling airflow dynamics at the osteo meatal complex. Excision of uncinate process during traditional functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) affects these airflow patterns increasing the flow in the sinuses in inspiration and decreasing it during expiration. Conventional way of performing a FESS always includes uncinectomy. However, preservation of uncinate process during surgery leads to the protection of the opened sinuses and avoid the attack of direct airflow to the sinus along with maintaining the normal nasal drainage from the sinus cavities. There is no clear evidence or consensus in the issue and regarding the feasibility of successful access in the ethmoids and sphenoids and beyond by preserving this immensely important land mark. In this study, we have tried to see that whether it is feasible to conserve uncinate as a future eland mark and preserve more normal nasal physiology compared with the resection of uncinate process.
