Surgical
Treatment of
Sinusitis
Dr. Vishal Sharma
Maxillary Sinusitis
Surgical Treatment Methods:
1. Antral Washout
2. Intra-nasal Inferior meatal antrostomy (INA)
3. Caldwell - Luc surgery
4. Middle meatal antrostomy
5. Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS)
Antral Washout
(proof puncture,
antral lavage)
Indications
 Diagnosis & treatment of chronic maxillary sinusitis
not responding to conservative medications
 Cytology/culture sensitivity of antral contents
Contraindications
 Age < 3 yrs
 Hypoplastic maxilla with thick bony walls
 Acute maxillary sinusitis untreated by antibiotics
 Trauma to maxillary sinus or Fracture of orbital floor
 Drainage of maxillary antral hematoma
Tilley Lichwitz Antrum Puncture
Trocar & Cannula
Higginson Syringe
Trocar directed towards I/L tragus
Hole made 1.25 cm behind
anterior end of inferior turbinate
Antral irrigation
Anesthesia: L.A. for adults. G.A. for children & uncooperative pt. Position: Sitting / supine.
Technique: Puncture lateral wall of inferior meatus
with Tilley-Litchwitz antral trocar & cannula, just
anterior to turbinate genu, trocar directed towards
tragus of ipsilateral ear, with gentle boring action.
Advance till it hits posterior wall, then withdraw
slightly. Remove trocar & wash sinus with saline at
370 C with pt leaning forwards & saying k k. Wash till
clear fluid comes. Remove cannula.
Complications
1. Hemorrhage ( Lateral Sphenopalatine artery)
2. Pain & swelling of cheek (breach of anterior wall)
3. Orbital damage (perforation of orbital floor)
4. Perforation of posterior wall (maxillary artery injury)
5. Vasovagal attack
6. Fatal air embolism
Intranasal antrostomy (INA)
• Region of antral
puncture in inferior
meatus perforated with
Tilley's antral harpoon.
• Antrostomy enlarged
with Tilley's antral burr
or Myle’s nasoantral
perforator.
Caldwell – Luc Surgery
George Caldwell, 1893, New York
Henri Luc, 1897, Paris
Indications
Chronic refractory maxillary sinusitis
Oro-antral fistula closure
Foreign body removal from maxillary antrum
Fungal maxillary sinusitis
Elevation of orbital floor fractures
Ethmoidectomy (trans-antral)
Biopsy of suspicious neoplasm of maxillary antrum
Orbital floor decompression
Antrochoanal polyp (recurrent)
Route to pterygo-palatine fossa (Vidian nerve, Max Artery)
Dental / dentigerous cyst (maxillary antrum) removal
Exposure of incision site
Incision
4 cm long, sub-labial,
horizontal incision made
3 mm above & parallel to
the gingival margin,
from lateral incisor to
2nd molar tooth.
Incision deepened till periosteum
Anterior wall broken with osteotome
Hole made in anterior wall
Suction of maxillary sinus
Inferior meatal antrostomy
Packing of maxillary sinus
Packing of sinus & nose
Incision closed
Complications
Facial: Cheek edema, ecchymosis, subcutaneous
emphysema, infraorbital n. paresthesia
Orbital: Hematoma, extraocular muscle trauma,
diplopia, globe trauma, blindness
Oral: Trauma to teeth roots, Superior alveolar nerve
damage, Dental anesthesia, Oroantral fistula
Vascular: Internal maxillary artery injury
Ethmoid Sinusitis
Surgical Treatment Methods:
1. Intra-nasal microscopic ethmoidectomy
2. Extra-nasal Ethmoidectomy
a. Lynch Howarth procedure
b. Patterson trans-orbital procedure
c. Trans-antral (Jansen Horgan procedure)
3. Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery
Lynch Howarth ethmoidectomy
Patterson ethmoidectomy
Trans-antral ethmoidectomy
• Caldwell – Luc
surgery done to
reach maxillary
antrum
• Ethmoid cells
approached via
postero-supero-
medial angle of
maxillary antrum
Frontal Sinusitis
Surgical Treatment Methods:
1. Trephination of frontal sinus
2. Modified Lothrop procedure
3. Osteoplastic Flap surgery
4. Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery
Frontal sinus trephination
Frontal sinus trephination
2-cm incision made 1 cm below medial end of
eyebrow & deepened up to bone. Frontal sinus
floor opened by drilling with burr. Opening
enlarged with Citelli’s punch forceps to drain pus.
Drainage tube inserted inside frontal sinus cavity
& sutured in place. Regular lavage of the frontal
sinus done through drainage tube for 48-72 hours
post-operatively.
Frontal sinus trephination
Osteoplastic flap procedure
Osteoplastic flap procedure
Lothrop Procedure
Removal of frontal sinus (inferior septum +
floor) + superior part of nasal septum
Lothrop Procedure
Sphenoid sinus
Surgical Treatment Methods:
1. Trans-nasal trans-septal approach
2. Sublabial trans-septal approach
3. External ethmoidectomy approach
4. Endoscopic intra-nasal approach
5. Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery
Sublabial trans-septal approach
External ethmoidectomy approach
Endoscopic approach

Endoscopic Sinus
Surgery
