  • Title: [Disturbances in mucociliary clearance after maxillary sinus surgery. Experimental study].
    Author: Melgarejo Moreno PJ, Hellín Meseguer D, Alpay F.
    Journal: Acta Otorrinolaringol Esp; 1997 Mar; 48(2):105-8. PubMed ID: 9198459.
    Abstract:
    The effect of inferior nasoantral windows on mucociliary clearance, with or without radical surgical removal of the maxillary sinus mucosa, was evaluated in five New Zealand white rabbits. Mucociliary clearance was analyzed using India ink as a marker and observing its distribution and flow rate. Partial and radical surgical removal of the mucosa, nasoantral windows, and the Caldwell-Luc operation were performed and mucociliary transport was studied. After three months, mucociliary clearance was conserved after partial resection of the sinus mucosa and absent after radical mucosal resection.
