ABSTRACT Introduction Endoscopic sinus surgery has developed significantly in the past decade. The indications and the frequency of the surgery have increased tremendously. Performing this surgery in an awake patient under local anesthesia has numerous additional inherent problems as opposed to surgery under general anesthesia. Technique Our ‘Continuous Suction Assembly’ is a simple yet effective answer to these problems. It helps in providing a clear field during surgery. It also prevents aspiration and fogging and aids in accurate analysis of intraoperative blood loss. Conclusion Continuous suction technique is a cost-effective, simple technique to prevent many problems inherent to endoscopic sinus surgery under both local and general anesthesia. With proper preoperative counseling, the patient discomfort and cooperation can be improved drastically. How to cite this article Chappity P. Nasal Suction System for Endoscopic Sinus Surgery.

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.

Controversy continues concerning the optimal anesthetic technique when completing endoscopic sinus surgery. To attempt to investigate the results using different anesthetic techniques, experience with endoscopic sinus surgery over 12 months (233 cases) was retrospectively reviewed. The use of local anesthetic injection with or without regional blocks (specifically ethmoid and greater palatine) was evaluated, as was the choice of general anesthesia versus local technique in a context of blood loss, patient comfort, and complications. Regional block technique appears to add morbidity for little additional benefit. Endoscopic sinus surgery may be performed safely in appropriately selected patients using either general anesthesia or local infiltration with sedation.

AbstractFollowing nasal, septal or endoscopic surgery, it is common practice to insert nasal packs in both nasal cavities to achieve haemostasis, if there has been any bleeding at the end of the procedure. However, such packs make it difficult for patients to breathe, mainly in the first post-operative night which leads to discomfort and poor sleep. To enable patients to breathe better with nasal packs in situ, we describe a simple technique using trimmed straws and wrapped Netcell® packs for post-operative care following septal surgery, rhinoplasty and endoscopic sinus surgery. These packs also assist suction of any blood or mucous from the post-nasal space.

Treatment of frontal sinus disease represents one of the most challenging aspects of endoscopic sinus surgery. Frontal sinus mucocele drainage may be an exception to the rule because in many instances, the expansion of the mucocele widens the frontal sinus recess and renders surgical drainage technically undemanding. Recently, there has been an increased interest in in-office procedures in otolaryngology because of patient satisfaction and substantial savings of time and cost for both patients and physicians. Similarly, the past few years have witnessed an increased use of balloon dilation devices in sinus surgery. Previously, we have described the in-office use of this device in treating patients who failed prior conventional frontal sinusotomy in the operating room. In this report, we describe our step-by-step in-office experience using this tool for drainage of a large frontal sinus mucocele.
