    Author: Pomar Blanco P, Martín Villares C, San Román Carbajo J, Fernández Pello M, Tapia Risueño M.
    Journal: Acta Otorrinolaringol Esp; 2005; 56(6):252-6. PubMed ID: 15999791.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVES: Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is nowadays the "gold standard" for frontal sinus pathologies, but management of acute situations and the aproach and/or the extent of the surgery perfomed in the frontal recess remains controversial nowadays. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We report our experience in 4 patients with orbital celulitis due to frontal sinusitis who underwent combined external surgery (mini-trephination) and endoscopic sinus surgery. RESULTS: All patients managed sinus patency without any complications. CONCLUSIONS: We found this combined sinusotomy as an easy, effective and reproductible technique in order to resolve the difficult surgical management of complicated frontal sinusitis.
