Comparison between the endoscopic scores of bolgerization vs partial resection of the middle turbinate for management of the postoperative lateralization in the early follow-up period after endoscopic frontal sinusotomy: A randomized controlled study
American Journal of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Medicine and Surgery Mar 27, 2021
Khafagy Y, Ghonim M, Elzayat S, et al. - In this prospective study, researchers compared the impact of middle turbinate bolgerization and partial resection on the postoperative endoscopic scores and evaluated their impact on the middle meatus and the frontal recess outcome. The sample consisted of 41 patients undergoing bilateral frontal sinusotomy for chronic frontal sinusitis. Data reported that the total frontal sinus patency rate was 82.9% (63/76 operated sinus). At the 12-month follow-up period, partial middle turbinate resection outperformed bolgerization in patients undergoing primary ESS for chronic frontal sinusitis.
