Description

Preceding a endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS), we have proposed performing a submucosal partial-turbinectomy (SPT) which removes a part of the inferior nasal concha bone attached to maxillary sinus with an antrostomy. By this method, we could not only make a large antrostomy but also obtain good maneuverability by opening the middle nasal meatus in ESS.<br>　We performed SPT preceding ESS in 140 cases (261 sides) between January 2012 and June 2014. The stenosis rates of the middle nasal meatus were 14.2% (37 sides from 261 sides) in one month, 7.4% (18 sides from 243 sides) in three months and 3.7% (6 sides from 163 sides) in 6 months after surgery. The closing rates of the antrostomy were 1.5% (4 sides from 261 sides) in one month, 2.9% (7 sides from 243 sides) in three months and 6.7% (11 sides from 163 sides) in 6 months after surgery. We considered that the SPT method would contribute to secure sufficient ventilation routes for wound healing of sinusitis following surgery on the mucous membrane.<br>　In addition, the SPT method has merit from the point of deceasing risks of atrophic rhinitis and empty nose syndrome by preserving most of the inferior nasal concha.
