SECTION X — Operative Surgery
4. Bleeding. It occurs due to injury to nasal mucosa.
5. Air embolism. It is rare but may prove fatal. This com­plication can be prevented by avoiding insufflation of air into the antrum after lavage.
Note: This operation is now being performed less
often. Most surgeons prefer to get a CT to find the middle
meatal pathology causing obstruction to sinus ostium and deal with sinus disease and meatal pathology togeth­er by functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) at the same time.

Intranasal Inferior Meatal Antrostomy
Intranasal inferior meatal antrostomy is a process of mak­ing an opening in the nasoantral wall of the inferior me­atus by intranasal route. This operation is now rarely
required and has been superseded by functional endo­scopic sinus surgery.
INDICATIONS
Chronic purulent maxillary sinusitis.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
1. Irreversible change in sinus mucosa, e.g. polypoidal hypertrophy.
2. Presence of osteitis.
3. Suspicion of malignancy.
ANAESTHESIA
Local or general anaesthesia.
POSITION
punch or reverse backbiting forceps and backwards with Luc or straight through cut forceps. Opening should be
1.5–2 cm in diameter and as close to the floor of nose as possible (Figure 85.1). Intrasinus pus/debris is removed by suction. Biopsy can also be taken. Packing into the sinus and nose may be required if there is severe bleeding.
POSTOPERATIVE CARE
Intrasinus and nasal pack is removed in 24–48 h.
COMPLICATIONS
Few complications.
1. Postoperative bleeding.
2. Injury to nasolacrimal duct.
Note: These days, intranasal antrostomy is performed in the middle meatus. Middle meatal antrostomy is more physiological and is performed with nasal endoscopes and other surgical instruments used in functional endo­scopic sinus surgery.
Same as in submucous resection (SMR) operation (see
Chapter 87).
TECHNIQUE
Inferior turbinate is fractured medially and upwards with a large periosteal elevator. Nasoantral wall of the inferior meatus is perforated with a curved haemostat and then this opening is enlarged, forwards with Kerrison bone

Caldwell–Luc (Anterior Antrostomy) Operation
Caldwell–Luc operation is a process of opening the maxil­lary antrum through canine fossa by sublabial approach and dealing with the pathology inside the antrum. Op­eration is also called anterior antrostomy as access to maxil­lary sinus is made through anterior wall of the sinus.
INDICATIONS
1. Chronic maxillary sinusitis with irreversible changes in the sinus mucosa.
2. Removal of foreign bodies or root of a tooth.
3. Dental cyst.
4. Oroantral fistula.
5. Suspected neoplasm in the antrum and its biopsy.
6. Recurrent antrochoanal polyp.
7. Fracture of maxilla or blow-out fractures of the orbit.
8. As an approach to ethmoids (Horgan’s transantral ethmoidectomy).
9. Approach to pterygopalatine fossa for ligation of maxillary artery.
10. Vidian neurectomy.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Patient below 17 years of age.
ANAESTHESIA
General anaesthesia with cuffed endotracheal tube and a pharyngeal pack. Can be done under local anaesthesia.
4. has been opened, pathology is removed. Diseased antral mucosa can be removed with elevators, curettes and for­ceps. Cyst, benign tumour, foreign body or a polyp is re­moved.
5. is pushed into the antrum from the inferior meatus and then this opening is enlarged with Kerrison’s and side­biting forceps to make a window <1.5 cm in diameter.
6. with liquid paraffin or Furacin™ (Furacin™ is 0.2% w/w nitrofurazone) or any other antibiotic ointment can be packed in the antrum and its end brought out from the nasoantral window into the nose. Intrasinus packing is done if there is severe bleeding. Pack is also kept in the nose.
7. with one or two catgut sutures.
Once maxillary antrum
A curved haemostat
Ribbon gauze, impregnated
Sublabial incision is closed
POSTOPERATIVE CARE
1. Ice packs over the cheek in the first 24 h prevent oede-
ma, haematoma and discomfort to the patient.
2. Packing in the sinus and nose can be removed in
24–48 h.
3. Antibiotics are given for 5–7 days.
4. Patient should avoid blowing his nose for 2 weeks to
avoid surgical emphysema.
5. Maxillary sinus is irrigated through the antrostomy
with saline. Patient can do it himself with Higginson’s syringe.
POSITION
Reclining with head-end of the table raised. Patient lies supine with face turned slightly to the opposite side.
TECHNIQUE
1. inciSion. A horizontal incision with its ends upward is made below the gingivolabial sulcus, from lateral in­cisor to the second molar (Figure 86.1). It cuts through mucous membrane and periosteum.
2. eLevation oF FLaP. The mucoperiosteal flap is raised from the canine fossa to the infraorbital nerve avoiding injury to the nerve.
3. oPening the antruM. Using cutting burr or gouge and hammer, a hole is made in the antrum. Opening is enlarged using Kerrison’s punch.
COMPLICATIONS
1. Postoperative bleeding. This can be controlled by nasal pack.
2. Anaesthesia of the cheek due to stretching of infraorbi­tal nerve. It may last for a few weeks or months.
3. Anaesthesia of teeth.
4. Injury to nasolacrimal duct.
5. Sublabial fistula.
6. Osteomyelitis of maxilla (rare).
PRESENT STATUS
Management of chronic maxillary sinusitis, removal of antrochoanal polyp, biopsy of maxillary sinus tumours, ligation of maxillary artery for posterior epistaxis and drainage of maxillary sinus in closure of oroantral fistula

can all be done through endoscopic surgery. Caldwell– Luc operation these days may be indicated in limited situations as (i) initial step in medial maxillectomy, (ii) in management of complex midfacial fractures and to repair orbital floor fractures, (iii) removal of foreign bod­ies which cannot be removed by endoscopic approach and (iv) in management and staging of carcinoma of the palate.
Note: Ever since the advent of endoscopic sinus surgery, indications for Caldwell–Luc operation have decreased. Functional endoscopic sinus surgery can achieve all that can be done through Caldwell–Luc operation.

Submucous Resection of Nasal Septum (SMR Operation)
INDICATIONS
1. Deviated nasal septum (DNS) causing symptoms of na­sal obstruction and recurrent headaches.
2. DNS causing obstruction to ventilation of paranasal sinuses and middle ear, resulting in recurrent sinusitis and otitis media.
3. Recurrent epistaxis from septal spur.
4. As a part of septorhinoplasty for cosmetic correction of external nasal deformities.
5. As a preliminary step in hypophysectomy (trans-sep­tal trans-sphenoidal approach) or vidian neurectomy (trans-septal approach).
CONTRAINDICATIONS
1. Patients below 17 years of age. In such cases, a con­servative surgery (septoplasty) should be done.
2. Acute episode of respiratory infection.
3. Bleeding diathesis.
4. Untreated diabetes or hypertension.
ANAESTHESIA
Local anaesthesia is preferred. General anaesthesia is used in children and apprehensive adults.
4. incision oF the cartilage. Cartilage is incised just posterior to the first incision. Avoid cutting the opposite mucoperichondrium, otherwise, it will result in perfora­tion.
5. eleVation oF opposite mucoperichondrium and periosteum. With the elevator passed through the car-
tilage incision, mucoperichondrial and periosteal flap is raised from the opposite side of the septum (Figure 87.1B).
6. remoVal oF cartilage and bone. Now working between the two flaps, cartilage and bone are removed. Cartilage can be removed with Ballenger swivel knife and bone with Luc’s forceps. Bony spur or ridge can be re­moved with gouge and hammer. Preserve a strip of car­tilage about 1 cm wide along the dorsal and caudal bor­der of the septum to prevent collapse of the bridge of the nose or retraction of columella (Figure 87.2).
7. stitching. One or two catgut or silk stitches are ap­plied in the initial mucoperichondrial incision.
8. packing. A ribbon gauze, smeared with an antibiotic ointment or liquid paraffin, is packed on each side of the nasal cavity to prevent collection of blood between the flaps. Nasal dressing is applied.
POSTOPERATIVE CARE
POSITION
Reclining position with head-end of the table raised.
STEPS OF OPERATION
1. inFiltration oF nasal septum. It is done in its sub-
perichondrial planes with 2% xylocaine and 1:50,000 adrenaline.
2. incision. A curvilinear incision with forward convex-
ity is made at the mucocutaneous junction on the left side of the septum. It cuts only through the mucosa and perichondrium.
3. eleVation oF mucoperichondrial and muco-
periosteal Flap. Plane of dissection is important. It
should be beneath the perichondrium and periosteum (Figure 87.1A).
1. Patient is placed in semi-sitting position to prevent oozing of blood. Outer nasal dressing is changed if soaked in blood.
2. A soft diet should be taken in the first two postopera­tive days to minimize active mastication which causes bleeding.
3. Pain, if any, should be controlled with analgesics.
4. Antibiotic cover is given for 5–6 days.
5. Nasal packs are gently removed after 24 h and there­after, decongestant nasal drops and steam inhalations are given daily for 5–6 days.
6. Silk stitch, if any, is removed on 5th or 6th day.
7. Patient should avoid trauma to the nose for several days.
COMPLICATIONS
1. Bleeding. It may require repacking, if severe.
2. Septal haematoma. Evacuate the haematoma and give intranasal packing on both sides of septum for equal pressure.

SECTION X — Operative Surgery
Figure 87.2. SMR operation. It is necessary to preserve dorsal and caudal struts of cartilage to avoid supratip depression or columellar recession, respectively.
7. Persistence of deviation. It usually occurs due to in­adequate surgery and may require revision operation.
8. Flapping of nasal septum. Rarely seen, when too much of septal framework has been removed. Septum, which now consists of two mucoperichondrial flaps, moves to the right or left with respiration.
9. Toxic shock syndrome. It is rare after septal surgery. It can follow staphylococcal (sometimes streptococcal) infection and is characterized by nausea, vomiting, pu­rulent secretions, hypotension and rash. It should be diagnosed early. It is treated by removal of packing, hydrating the patient, maintaining blood pressure and administering proper antibiotics.
3. Septal abscess. This can follow infection of septal hae­matoma.
4. Perforation. When tears occur on opposing sides of the mucous membrane.
5. Depression of bridge. Usually occurs in supratip area due to too much removal of cartilage along the dorsal border.
6. Retraction of columella. Often seen when caudal strip of cartilage is not preserved.
PRESENT STATUS
These days SMR operation has been replaced by septo­plasty. As much of the cartilage or bone as possible should be retained. Sometimes straight pieces of bone or cartilage can be put back between the mucosal flaps. Only indica­tion for SMR is when cartilage or bone from the septum is required for a graft.
Chapter 88
https://t.me/med1917
Septoplasty
Septoplasty is a conservative approach to septal surgery; as much of the septal framework as possible is retained. Mucoperichondrial/periosteal flap is generally raised only on one side. This operation has almost replaced the SMR operation (Table 88.1).
INDICATIONS
1. Deviated septum causing nasal obstruction on one or both sides.
2. As a part of septorhinoplasty for cosmetic reasons.
3. Recurrent epistaxis usually from the spur.
4. Sinusitis due to septal deviation.
5. Septal deviation making contact with lateral nasal wall and causing headaches.
6. For approach to middle meatus or frontal recess in en­doscopic sinus surgery when deviated septum obstructs the view and access to these areas.
7. Access to endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy opera­tion in some cases.
8. As an approach to pituitary fossa (trans-septal trans­sphenoidal approach).
9. Septal deviation causing sleep apnoea or hypopnoea syndrome.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
1. Acute nasal or sinus infection.
2. Untreated diabetes.
3. Hypertension.
4. Bleeding diathesis.
ANAESTHESIA
Local or general.
POSITION
Same as for SMR operation.
TECHNIQUE
1. Infiltrate the septum with 1% lignocaine with adrena­line, 1:100,000.
2. In cases of deviated septum, make a slightly curvilinear incision, 2–3 mm above the caudal end of septal cartilage on the concave side (Killian’s incision). In case of caudal dislocation, a transfixion or hemitransfixion (Freer’s) incision is made. The latter is septocolumellar incision between caudal end of septal cartilage and columella.
3. Raise mucoperichondrial/mucoperiosteal flap on one side only.
4. Separate septal cartilage from the vomer and ethmoid plate and raise mucoperiosteal flap on the opposite side of septum.
5. Remove maxillary crest to realign the septal carti­lage.
6. Correct the bony septum by removing the deformed parts. Deformed septal cartilage is corrected by various methods, such as: (a) Scoring on the concave side (Figure 88.1). (b) Cross-hatching or morselizing. (c) Shaving. (d) Wedge excision.
Further manipulations like realignment of nasal spine,
separation of septal cartilage from upper lateral carti­lages, implantation of cartilage strip in the columella or the dorsum of nose may be required.
7. Trans-septal sutures are placed to coapt mucoperichon­drial flaps.
8. Nasal pack.
POSTOPERATIVE CARE
1. Septal surgery is a daycare surgery and the patient can go home after he fully recovers from effects of seda­tion with no postoperative nausea or bleeding. Pa­tients with obstructive sleep apnoea should better be observed overnight.
2. Avoid strenuous exercise as it may cause bleeding.
3. Pack, if kept is removed the next day and patient be instructed not to blow the nose or sneeze hard. Secre­tions can be drawn backwards into the throat by snort­ing rather than blowing the nose.
4. Saline spray or steam inhalation are encouraged after pack removal.
5. Xylo- or oxymetazoline drops are used if nose becomes stuffy.
6. Nasal splints, if used, are removed on fourth to eighth day and gentle suction of nose is done.
7. Patient should avoid trauma to nose, wipe the nose gently and in no case push the nose from one side to another.
POSTOPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS
Same as in SMR operation.
1. Bleeding.
2. Septal haematoma and abscess.
3. Septal perforation.
4. Supratip depression.
5. Saddle nose deformity.

SECTION X — Operative Surgery
Figure 88.1. Septal cartilage is straightened by scoring the cartilage on the concave side to remove interlocked cartilage stresses (A), or by shav­ing the convex side of cartilage (B). Dislocated septal cartilage can be replaced in the maxillary groove or on the anterior nasal spine by excision of the cartilage along the floor of nose and fixing it with a suture (C).
6. Columellar retraction.
7. Persistence of septal deviation, or external nasal deformity.
8. Cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhoea rarely occurs if the perpendicular plate of ethmoid is avulsed.
9. Toxic shock syndrome.
TYPES OF SEPTAL INCISIONS IN SEPTOPLASTY
1. Killian’s: In the nasal mucosa, cephalic to the caudal end of the septum (Figure 88.2).
2. Transfixion: Through and through incision, close to but caudal to caudal end of the septum.
3. Hemitransfixion: Same as the transfixion incision but on one side.
4. Horizontal on the spur: For endoscopic spurectomy.
Figure 88.2. Septal incisions. (A) Killian’s incision. (B) Hemitransfixion incision.
TABLE 88.1 DIFFERENCES BETWEEN SMR
AND SEPTOPLASTY
SMR Septoplasty
1. It is extensive dissection of septum removing all deformed bony and cartilaginous parts preserving only a caudal and a dorsal strut of cartilage.
2. Not done before 17 years.
3. Mucoperichondrial and periosteal flaps raised on both sides of the septum.
4. Bony and cartilaginous parts excised.
5. More chances of complications, e.g. supratip depression, columellar recession or flapping of septum.
6. Re-operation is difficult. Re-operation is easier.
Limited selective dissection
removing minimal cartilage and bone consistent with providing a good airway. Most of the cartilage and bone is preserved. Even deformed parts are corrected and reimplanted between mucoperichondrial or periosteal flaps.
It can be done even in children
without affecting nasal growth.
Flaps are raised only on one side
and limited elevation on the opposite side.
Deformed cartilage is corrected
by scoring, cross-hatching, wedge excision and realigning in the groove of the nasal crest. Sometimes straight pieces are joined outside the nose and replaced between flaps (extracorporeal septoplasty), and in case of spur, only spurectomy is done.
Less chances of complications.

Diagnostic Nasal Endoscopy
Like anterior and posterior rhinoscopy, endoscopy of nose and nasopharynx helps in the diagnosis of diseases of nose, paranasal sinuses (PNS) and the nasopharynx. Because of the brighter illumination, magnification and angled view provided by the endoscopes, it is possible to examine all clefts and crevices of the nose and nasophar­ynx. It is an important part of examination of nose and nasopharynx.
INDICATIONS
1. To diagnose any disease of the nose and PNS.
2. To diagnose source of bleeding in epistaxis.
3. To assess response to medical or surgical treatment of the nose and PNS disease.
4. To take a precise biopsy from nose and nasopharynx.
ANAESTHESIA
Topical anaesthesia with 4% xylocaine and a vasocon­strictor (oxymetazoline), first as a nasal spray and then nasal packs.
POSITION
Sitting or supine.
purulent discharge in the nasal cavity and colour of the nasal mucous membrane.
2. Pass the endoscope along the floor of nose into the nasopharynx and examine: (i) opening of eustachian tube, (ii) walls of nasopharynx, (iii) upper surface of soft palate and uvula and (iv) opening of eustachian tube of opposite side. To see these structures endo­scope is rotated.
3. Withdraw the endoscope slightly and examine the margins of choana and posterior ends of turbinates.
4. Withdraw endoscope slowly and at the same time examine inferior meatus for opening of nasolacrimal duct and Hasner’s valve. Slight pressure over the lac­rimal sac may express a drop or two of lacrimal fluid through the nasolacrimal opening.
SECOND PASS (EXAMINATION OF THE SPHENOETHMOIDAL RECESS, SUPERIOR MEATUS AND OPENINGS OF SPHENOID SINUS AND POSTERIOR ETHMOIDAL CELLS) (FIGURE 89.1)
Endoscope is passed medial to middle turbinate to exam­ine posterior part of middle turbinate, sphenoethmoi­dal recess, superior turbinate and meatus, openings of posterior ethmoid cells (in the superior meatus) and opening of sphenoid sinus in the posterior wall of sphe­noethmoidal recess between the nasal septum and supe­rior turbinate.
INSTRUMENTS
1. 4 mm 30° endoscope
2.7 mm 30° endoscope Required when nasal
2.7 mm 70° endoscope
2. Freer’s elevator or elevator with a suction channel
3. Suction tips
4. Biopsy forceps
5. Antifog solution or Savlon™ to prevent fogging of the endoscopic lens.
TECHNIQUE
After nasal packs are removed, endoscopy is performed by three passes:
FIRST PASS (EXAMINATION OF NASOPHARYNX AND INFERIOR MEATUS)
1. First obtain a general view of the nasal cavity. Look for any septal deviation or spurs and their size, mucous or
passages are narrow
