Nine maxillary sinuses of 8 patients who had undergone Caldwell-Luc surgery (CWL) were injected with 100-125 µCi 99mTc-DTPA in 0.2 ml from the gingivobuccal sulcus, passing through the canine fossa window. Sinus half-emptying times and percent contribution of the natural ostium (NO) and the nasoantral window (NA) to the clearance from the sinus were calculated, using time-activity curves as well as the activity of cotton wool plugs placed into the middle and lower conchae. Mean half-emptying times in patients in whom the mucosa had been removed were shorter than those in patients in whom it had been left in place. In the former group percent drainage through the NO was higher than that through the NA whereas in the latter group the opposite was the case. These findings are consistent with the thesis that if the mucosa is retained, the ciliae continue their sweeping action towards the NO but if it is removed the NA gains importance in the drainage. This method is promising for the evaluation of maxillary sinus drainage following CWL.

Background Patients with extensive disease affecting the maxillary sinus may require a canine fossa approach for complete removal of disease. This study was designed to determine the complications associated with this procedure. Methods We performed a retrospective study of 21 patients who had undergone a canine fossa puncture at an academic hospital complex in Adelaide, Australia. Results A total of 37 canine fossa punctures were made in 21 patients. Twenty-eight of the 37 (75.7%) sides in which a canine fossa puncture was performed experienced a complication. The most common complaint was of cheek swelling in 14 (38%) followed by facial pain in 12 (32%), facial numbness in 11 (30%), cheek pain in 10 (27%), dental numbness in 10 (27%), gingival complications in 9 (24%), and facial tingling in 6 (16%) of sides. Most complications (75.5%) resolved within the 1st month after surgery. Six patients (28.6%) had persistent complications with facial tingling in 3 patients (50%) followed by facial numbness and tingling in 1 patient (11%), facial numbness alone in 1 patient (8.3%), and facial pain in 1 patient (7.1%). Conclusion Canine fossa antrostomy is a technique that provides additional access to the maxillary sinus. Surgeons need to be aware that, although minor, a significant number of patients will experience both transient and long-term complications.

<p class="abstract">Intrinsic or extrinsic cysts are common maxillary antral lesions as there is close proximity between the maxillary antrum and maxillary teeth. Main stay of treatment is complete surgical excision. Endoscopic trans nasal middle meatus corridor and the canine fossa approach facilitate 360-degree access, resection and removal of cystic lesions of the maxillary antrum. Bimodal technique to treat maxillary cysts that have expanded into the maxillary sinus is discussed here.  </p>
