nasoseptal flap, which, otherwise, would have no bony
contact on its way to the clivus.
• The key of this approach is the removal of the sphenoid
rostrum with bone-cutting forceps (Kerrison) or powered instrumentation. A transnasal sphenoidotomy
may be performed previously.
• As lateralized intersinus septa tend to insert onto the
carotid (see Figs. 5.4 and 5.5), it is recommended to
remove them with burrs. Breaking them down with
forceps may lead to a lesion of the internal carotid
artery.
• Before lateral enlargement of the ostium is performed,
one should confirm its lateral pneumatization.
5.5 Case Examples
5.5.1 Case 1
A 79-year-old woman arrives at the emergency room
in a delirium. Lumbar puncture, CT scan, and MRI confirmed pneumococcal meningitis with full occupancy
of the right sphenoid sinus and a pneumoencephalus
(Fig. 5.10a). MRI displayed the presence of a skull base
defect and a CSF fistula to the sphenoid as the cause of
the meningitis. Once the meningitis was cured, intrathecal fluorescein injection was applied (Fig. 5.10b,c)
and the closure of the sphenoid fistula performed
with fascia underlay- overlay covered by a turbinal free
16
graft
(Fig. 5.10d). After 3 years of follow-up, the CSF
leak remains closed and the patient has not suffered
any further episode of bacterial meningitis.
5.5.2 Case 2
A 67-year-old woman was referred to the Rhinology
Unit presenting since 20 days a right, parietal-occipital
headache with ophthalmoplegia and third cranial nerve
involvement with mydriasis. Contrast-enhanced CT scan
demonstrated a sphenoid sinusitis, and a cavernous sinus
thrombosis was suspected (Fig. 5.11a,b). The patient was

immediately submitted to medical treatment without
proper response. A transethmoidal sphenoidectomy was
performed to drain the content of the sphenoid sinus (Fig.
5.11c). Purulent and hyphae material was extracted. The
results of the cultures showed exclusively Enterococcus
faecalis. Patient got immediate headache remission after
surgery and ophthalmoplegia was corrected within a few
months. This last symptom correlates well with current
literature findings.
revealed recurrence.
5.6 Complications
Complications can be avoided if the sphenoidotomy/
sphenoidectomy is carefully performed (Fig. 5.12a,b).
Before entering the sphenoid sinus, its ostium has to be
enlarged widely to obtain a better overview from within. For inflammatory diseases, a limited surgery at the
ostium has shown to be safe and effective to treat symptomatology.

5.7 Tips and Tricks
The following anatomic landmarks should be identified
during surgery:
• Laterally. The superolateral aspect of the most poste-
rior ethmoid cells (if pneumatized) or the sphenoid
covering the optic nerve. Dissection here should be
avoided. Below the infraoptic recess, the internal carotid artery is exposed.
a carotid bleeding is packing with muscle to stop the
bleeding and to proceed with an angiography without
extubating the patient.
• Superiorly. Creating a CSF leak during endonasal sur-
gery is not so infrequent. A meticulous landmark-oriented dissection reduces the risk.
• Inferiorly. Enlarging the sphenoidotomy inferiorly with
the sphenoid punch is associated with bleeding from
the posterior nasal artery, a branch from the sphenopalatine artery. Having at hand a bipolar forceps might
be very helpful.

Introduction
Endoscopic medial maxillectomy is a versatile approach
to the maxillary sinus as well as to the pterygopalatine
and infratemporal fossa. It can be used to address either
recalcitrant inflammatory disease or neoplasias of the
area. It can be technically challenging, but it has the significant advantage that it can be tailored to the pathology
encountered, and can include the nasolacrimal duct or
the whole medial wall of the maxillary sinus as well as
the medial part of the anterior maxillary sinus wall.
6.1 Indications
• Extensive inverted papilloma or other benign tumors
broadly attached to the anterior, lateral, inferior, or
posterior maxillary wall.
• Creation of transmaxillary/transpterygoid access.
• Recalcitrant chronic inflammation of the maxillary
sinus (i.e., cystic fibrosis, primary ciliary dyskinesia).

6.2 Surgical Steps
6.2.1 Anatomic Landmarks
• Frontal process of maxilla (anterior lacrimal crest).
• Lacrimal “bulge.”
• Inferior turbinate.
• Uncinate process.
• Maxillary sinus floor.
• Vertical process of palatine bone.
maxillectomy (including the piriform aperture and part
of the anterior maxillary sinus wall, until the infraorbital
nerve is exposed; we call this “extensive, type 2 medial
maxillectomy”; Fig. 6.3).
Initially, the mucosa over the frontal process of the
maxilla and the anterior lacrimal crest is incised with a
45-degree ophthalmology slit/phaco knife, down to the
level of the nasal floor (Fig. 6.4). A no. 15 blade is then
used to continue the initial incision under the inferior
turbinate, up to the level of the posterior maxillary wall
(Fig. 6.5). The incised mucosa is then reflected over the
projected osteotomy sites with a Freer elevator (Fig. 6.6).
A 3-mm chisel is used to cut the bone following the route
of the initial mucosal incisions, always first anterior to
the nasolacrimal duct and then under the inferior turbinate (Fig. 6.7), all the way to the posterior wall of the
6.2.2 Description
The procedure starts by applying topical cocaine powder
in cotton buds soaked in 1 mg/mL epinephrine. Topical
cocaine is not allowed in some countries, so vasoconstriction solution could be used. The cotton buds should
be placed into the nasal cavity, where they stay until the
patient is draped and the surgical field is prepared. A solution of 1:80,000 adrenaline/lignocaine is subsequently
injected under the inferior turbinate and over the ridge of
the frontal process of the maxilla (Fig. 6.1).
The extent of the procedure is defined by the extension
of the tumor. For those limited to the medial wall of the
maxillary sinus, a wide middle meatal antrostomy with
inclusion of the tumor and the involved part of the wall
is usually enough. In the case that the tumor involves the
lateral or posterior wall of the maxillary sinus, a “conservative” medial maxillectomy with or without the excision
of nasolacrimal duct is performed (we call this “conservative, type 1 medial maxillectomy”; Fig. 6.2). If the tumor
involves the anterolateral wall and/or the inferior part of
the maxillary sinus, an endoscopic Denker is performed
(as described by Draf)—radical or extensive medial

maxillary sinus (Fig. 6.8). The medial wall of the maxillary sinus is subsequently reflected medially en bloc with
the inferior turbinate. The nasolacrimal duct is identified
and resected horizontally with a sharp scissors to prevent
postoperative stenosis (Fig. 6.9). If necessary, the maxillectomy opening is further enlarged anteriorly, laterally, and inferiorly with a 15-degree diamond burr and
a Kerrison punch, aiming always to completely visualize
the anterior wall (including the lateral part of it) of the
sinus. The final margins of resection are the nasal floor
inferiorly, the orbital floor superiorly, the posterior wall
of the maxillary sinus posteriorly, and the (lateral part
of the) anterior wall of the maxillary sinus anteriorly. At
this stage, in cases of inverted papilloma or other benign
tumors, the whole attachment of the tumor in the maxillary sinus should be clearly visualized. We find that malleable suction elevators (Wormald set) are very helpful
for removing a 10-mm cuff of normal mucosa around the
attachment of the tumor. Before the tumor is removed,

the sphenopalatine artery is often ligated. The bony maxillary wall where the tumor was attached is drilled using a 70-degree diamond drill and the cavity is inspected
with a 30- or 45-degree endoscope.
We send all the specimens (including that in the
debrider trap) for histology, to avoid missing a synchronous malignant tumor.

6.3 Case Example
A 45-year-old man presented in our clinic with progressive right-sided nasal obstruction. On rigid endoscopy, a
large fleshy polyp was visualized extending through the
middle meatus, deflecting medially the middle turbinate,
and partly obstructing the nasal cavity (Fig. 6.10).
A biopsy taken in outpatients confirmed the clinical diagnosis of an inverted papilloma. The computed
tomography (CT) scan and magnetic resonance imaging

(MRI) revealed that the tumor was occupying the whole
maxillary sinus (Figs. 6.11 and 6.12). Importantly, there
was evidence of localized hypertrophic bone formation
(osteitis sign) in the lateral part of the anterior wall of
the maxillary sinus (Fig. 6.11), suggesting that this was
the origin of the tumor. On the basis of the scans and
the histological report, a radical medial maxillectomy
( endoscopic Denker procedure) was planned.
After preparing the nasal cavity, we assessed the extent
of the tumor, specifically trying to identify the location
and extent of attachment. The intranasal part of the tumor
was debulked. The auto-antrostomy i.e. widening of the

maxillary sinus osmium produced by the tumor itself was
further enlarged surgically. After significant tumor debulking within the maxillary sinus, the attachment at the anterolateral wall was visualized, on an area of osteitis, as
predicted by the CT scan (Fig. 6.13). An endoscopic Denker
(radical medial maxillectomy) was performed, including
the incision of the nasolacrimal duct. At the end of surgery,
all the remaining walls of the maxillary sinus were visualized and were free of tumor. The area around the attachment was drilled and the mucosa cauterized. At 2 years of
follow-up, the patient remains asymptomatic and the nasal
cavity is free of tumor (Fig. 6.14).

6.4 Complications
Acute hemorrhage may occur due to injury of the sphenopalatine artery or its branches and can be prevented by
prior artery ligation/clipping/bipolar coagulation. Epiphora due to stenosis of the lacrimal duct can be avoided by
resecting the duct horizontally with a sharp scissors. The
authors do not routinely stent the duct.

can be prevented by as conservative removal of healthy
mucosa as possible.

6.5 Tips and Tricks
• Hypotensive, total intravenous anesthesia and ade-
quate local vasoconstriction are useful for a bloodless
field and adequate visualization during the operation.
• Always assess the lesion with both CT and MRI. The
bony detail included in the CT is important to recognize the presence of intrasinus septa, Haller’s cells, and
the relative depth of the orbit and the nasolacrimal
duct, while MRI (especially T2 with intravenous contrast) can differentiate between tumor and retained
secretions.
• It is increasingly recognized that the papilloma attach-
ment can be predicted with some degree of accuracy
from signs of osteitis: taking enough time to examine thin
(1 mm) cuts for signs of bony hyperostosis always pays.
• 30- and rarely 45-degree endoscopes are usually suffi-
cient for the whole procedure.
• Image guidance is seldom, if ever, necessary.
• Try to remove en bloc the medial maxillary wall togeth-
er with the tumor. Use a 3-mm chisel to perform the
inferior and anterior/medial osteotomies on the medial
maxillary sinus wall.
• Always aim to clearly visualize and sharply cut the
nasolacrimal duct. In our opinion, there is no indication
for the routine use of nasolacrimal duct stents.
• Be flexible and change shaver (straight, 12, 40, 60
degrees) and drill (15-degree 4-mm diamond DCR
drill, 40-degree 3-mm finesse drill, 70-degree 4-mm
diamond drill) according to the anatomy and the
pathology.
• A 70-degree diamond drill and curved suction diather-
my are important to completely remove any remnants
of the lesion as well as its attachments in the maxillary
sinus walls.
