Definition

Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery
Replaced old practice of obliterating sinuses and removing mucosa. Concept of irreversibly diseased mucosa refuted. Functional aspect refers to: Preserving normal structures Removing only obstruction Preserving mucosa Attempt to restore function
5
Anatomy
6
Ethmoid anatomy Ethmoid anatomy is complex: Labyrinth Lamellae
1st - Uncinate 2nd - Ethmoid bulla 3rd - Basal lamella of middle turbinate 4th - Superior turbinate
7
Drainage Frontal, anterior ethmoid & maxillary – OMC
Posterior Ethmoids – Superior meatus Sphenoid sinus – Sphenoid-ethmoidal recess
8
Middle Turbinate Three components
First – Anterior, oriented in a sagittal plane and attached to skull base Second – Middle, oriented in a Vertical plane and attached to lamina papyracea (basal lamella and separates ant from post ethmoids) Third – Posterior, oriented in a horizontal plane and attaches to perpendicular plate of palate (forms roof of middle meatus, anterior to sphenopalatine foramen)
9
Middle Turbinate
10
Ostiomeatal Complex (OMC)
Common drainage for frontal, maxillary and anterior ethmoid sinuses.
11
OMC
12
OMC Infundibulum – funnel shaped area whereby the maxillary, ant ethmoid and frontal sinuses drains Uncinate process– Sickle shaped bony ethmoidal structure Hiatus Semilunaris – Half-moon shape opening of infundibulum
13
Uncinate Process Attaches to the following structures:
Inf & far post. – To ethmoid process of inf. Turb
14
Uncinate Process Ant & far sup. – To lamina papyracea, skull base or mid turb
15
Laterally – Lamina papyracea and fontanelle area
16
Uncinate Process 52%
18
Bulla Ethmoidalis The greatest anterior ethmoid air cell, attached to lamina papyrcea and usually open into lateral sinus
20
Sinus Lateralis = Suprabullar recess and retrobullar recess
21
Middle turbinate: Horizontal and vertical basal lamella
SBR Sinus Lateralis RBR
22
Sphenoid Ostium Medial to posterior sup. turbinate
Located between nasal septum and inferior aspect of sup. turbinate Located at the same level as the roof of the maxillary sinus Located 4 microdebrider/suction tip breaths above the choanae Located 7cm from nasal crest at 30°
23
Sphenoid Ostium
24
Sphenoid Sinus Relationships of important structures:
Optic nerve – superior-lateral Carotid artery/cav sinus – mid-lateral Vidian nerve and maxillary nerve – inferior-lateral
25
Square – ant clinoid process, Circles – optic canals, triangle – vidian nerve
Asterisk – pneumatization of pterygoid process
26
Sphenoid Classification

Presellar Sellar Conchal Post sellar
28
Onodi Cells or Sphenoethmoid cells

Cribriform plate Keros classification 1-3mm 3-7mm 7-16mm
33
Keros Classification Type I 1-3mm Type II 3-7mm Type III 7-16mm
34
Fovea and Ethmoidal arteries
35
Lens 70 degree – End of surgery
36
Kuhn Cells Frontal Cells
37
Frontal Recess Anatomic Boundries: Ant – unicate process & agger nasi
Post – bulla ethmoidalis and suprabullar lamella Lateral – lamina papyracea Medially – hiatus semilunaris or middle turb Inf – Ethmoid infundibulum Sup – Fovea ethmoidalis, supraorbital air cell, anterior ethmoid artery and frontal ostium

Patient evaluation
42
Pre-op CT Evaluation CLOSE Technique C – Cribriform
L – Lamina Papyracea O – Orbits, onodi cell, Optic Nerve S – Sphenoid, Skull Base E – Ethmoid Arteries
43
C - Cribriform Assess the Keros type Look for assymetry
45
L – Lamina Papyracea Check for dehiscence or pathologic fractures
46
O – Orbit, Optic Nerve, Onodi Cells
Check for dehiscence Assess for onodi cells (superior-lateral to sphenoid) Orbital slope
47
S – Sphenoid, Skull base Assess for Carotid dehiscence and aeration patterns Conchal, Pre-sellar, & Sellar (thickness of clivus)
48
Skull base Assess slope of skull base
Assess if roof of sphenoid is level with skull base
49
E – Ethmoid Artery
50
FESS Concepts of surgery
51
Role of surgery Should be considered as adjunctive to medical therapy
CRS is an inflammatory and multifactorial disease Institute medical therapy first prior to surgery unless impending complications Continued medical therapy is required following surgery to avoid recurrence
52
Defined surgical substeps are defined according to specific pathophysiologic obstruction that exist based on microanatomy
53
Antrostomy Some speculate nitric oxide produced in maxillary sinus has bacteriostatic properties, therefore better to keep antrostomy small Uncinate must be completely removed, source of recurrence. Mucociliary clearance remains to natural os Antrostomy must include the natural osium and accessory osium if present
54
Recirculation
55
Frontal Sinusotomy Question on to perform or not
Do as little as possible but as much as necessary Some advocate ethmoid dissection and monitor Graduated approach to frontal sinuses Should evaluate with sagittal reconstruction Evaluate A-P and Mediolateral dimensions, asses neo-osteogenesis and pneumatization
56
Ethmoidectomy & Sphenoidotomy
Continue operation Anteroposteriorly toward the Sphenoid sinus, then open it Now it is time to go on with Posteroanterior approach with a 30 degree lens and cutting forceps
