SECTION X — Operative Surgery
THIRD PASS (EXAMINATION OF THE MIDDLE MEATUS IN DETAIL)
Endoscope is passed from the front into the middle mea­tus. Sometimes middle turbinate needs to be displaced medially or 2.7 mm 30° endoscope has to be used. Ex­amine uncinate process, bulla ethmoidalis, hiatus semi­lunaris, sinus of the turbinate (cavity on lateral side of middle turbinate) and the frontal recess.
Sometimes middle meatus is better entered from
behind where the space is wider than from the front
and structures are seen from behind forward, e.g. ba­sal lamina, bulla ethmoidalis, hiatus semilunaris, sinus of the turbinate, and uncinate process and the frontal recess.
COMPLICATIONS
Occasionally bleeding can occur due to suction or ma­nipulation of instruments. It is usually mild and easily controlled by vasoconstrictor nasal drops.

Endoscopic Sinus Surgery
Endoscopic surgery has made a great contribution to­wards management of sinus disease. Indications for conventional operations like those of Caldwell–Luc, fron­tal sinus operations and external ethmoidectomy have greatly reduced. Endoscopic surgery is minimally invasive surgery and does not require skin incisions or removal of intervening bone to access the disease. In the sinuses, ventilation and drainage of the sinuses is established pre­serving the nasal and sinus mucosa and its function of mucociliary clearance. Advances in endoscopic surgery have been possible due to:
1. Development of better optics.
2. Improved brighter illumination.
3. Development of microsurgical instruments to work with the endoscopes and precise removal of tissue with sharp cuts without stripping the mucosa.
4. Concomitant developments in imaging techniques like CT and MRI to precisely define the area of pathology.
5. Introduction of powered instrumentation in the form of soft-tissue shavers also called microdebriders (to re­move nasal polyps, soft-tissue masses or mucosa) help reduce bleeding to a great extent while bone-cutting drills help endoscopic surgery of frontal sinus, lacrimal sac, etc. to remove bony obstruction.
6. The latest advancement has been the computer-assist­ed image-guided navigational surgery in difficult cases or revisional surgery when landmarks are not easy to identify.
6. Optic nerve decompression.
7. Orbital decompression for Graves’ disease.
8. Control of posterior epistaxis (endoscopic clipping of sphenopalatine artery).
9. Choanal atresia.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
1. Inexperience and lack of proper instrumentation.
2. Disease inaccessible by endoscopic procedures, e.g. lat­eral frontal sinus disease and stenosis of internal open­ing of frontal sinus.
3. Osteomyelitis.
4. Threatened intracranial or intraorbital complication.
ANAESTHESIA
General anaesthesia is preferred by most of the surgeons. Local anaesthesia with i.v. sedation can be used in adults when limited work is to be done.
POSITION
Patient lies flat in supine position with head resting on a ring or head rest. Some also prefer to raise it by 15°.
INDICATIONS
1. Chronic bacterial sinusitis unresponsive to adequate medical treatment.
2. Recurrent acute bacterial sinusitis.
3. Polypoid rhinosinusitis (diffuse nasal polyposis).
4. Fungal sinusitis with fungal ball or nasal polypi.
5. Antrochoanal polyp.
6. Mucocele of frontoethmoid or sphenoid sinus.
7. Control of epistaxis by endoscopic cautery.
8. Removal of foreign body from the nose or sinus.
9. Endoscopic septoplasty.
ADVANCED NASAL ENDOSCOPIC TECHNIQUES
1. Removal of benign tumours, e.g. inverted papillomas or angiofibromas.
2. Orbital abscess or cellulitis management.
3. Dacryocystorhinostomy.
4. Repair of CSF leak.
5. Pituitary surgery.
TECHNIQUES (FIGURE 90.1)
Two surgical techniques are followed:
1. Anterior to posterior (Stammberger’s technique). In this technique surgery proceeds from uncinate process backward to sphenoid sinus. Advantage of this tech­nique is to tailor the extent of surgery to the extent of disease.
2. Posterior to anterior (Wigand’s technique). Surgery starts at the sphenoid sinus and proceeds anteriorly along the base of skull and medial orbital wall. This is mostly done in extensive polyposis or in revisional sinus surgery.
STEPS OF OPERATION
1. Remove the pledgets of cotton kept for nasal deconges­tion and topical anaesthesia.
2. Inspect the nose with 4 mm 0° endoscope or do com­plete nasal endoscopy if not already done.
3. Inject submucosally 1% lignocaine with 1:100,000 adrenaline under endoscopic control (Figure 90.2):

Figure 90.1. Endoscopic surgery in progress. Endoscope and oth­er surgical instruments are passed through the nose and surgery performed by looking at the monitor.
Figure 90.2. Sites of injection (indicated by stars) just anterior to uncinate process on the lateral wall of right side of nose.
SECTION X — Operative Surgery
(a) On the lateral wall, near the upper end of middle
turbinate. (b) On the lateral wall, just below the first injection. (c) On the lateral wall, just above the inferior turbinate. (d) In the middle turbinate, posterior aspect. (e) Posterior aspect of nasal septum.
4. Replace cotton pledgets and repeat injections on the opposite side if bilateral functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is to be done.
Medialize the middle turbinate and identify the unci-
nate process and bulla ethmoidalis. If middle turbinate is large, partial or total turbinectomy is performed. In case of concha bullosa, lateral lamella is removed. Definitive surgical steps include:
1. Uncinectomy. Uncinate process is incised with sickle knife and removed with Blakesley forceps.
2. Identification and enlargement of maxillary ostium. Maxillary ostium lies above the inferior turbi­nate and posterior to lower third of uncinate process. Once localized, it is enlarged anteriorly with a backbit­ing forceps or posteriorly with a through cut-straight forceps.
3. Bullectomy. Bulla ethmoidalis is penetrated with cu- rette or Blakesley forceps and removed. Avoid injury
to medial orbital wall, skull base or anterior ethmoidal artery.
4. Penetration of basal lamella and removal of poste- rior ethmoid cells. Basal lamella is the dividing thin bony septum between anterior and posterior ethmoid cells. It is penetrated in the lower and medial part with a small curette and then removed with Blakesley for­ceps. Posterior ethmoid cells are exenterated. Optic nerve is at risk if Onodi cell is present. Onodi cell is a posterior ethmoid cell which extends into the sphe­noid bone lateral and superior to the sphenoid sinus.
5. Clearance of frontal recess and frontal sinusotomy. If frontal sinus is clear on CT scan and patient also does not suffer from frontal headaches, nothing need to be done. In the event of frontal sinus disease, frontal recess is cleared and frontal sinus drainage established.
Opening of frontal sinus is situated lateral to attach-
ment of middle turbinate, medial to medial orbital wall, anterior to anterior ethmoidal artery and poste­rior to agger nasi cell(s). Surgery in the area of frontal recess is challenging as any disrespect to the mucosa in this area would lead to stenosis of frontal sinus opening with mucocele formation or recurrent frontal sinusitis.
6. Sphenoidotomy. This step is done after clearance of posterior ethmoid cells or after frontal sinusotomy. It is omitted if sinus is healthy. In this procedure anterior wall of sphenoid sinus is removed, and pus and inspis­sated material from within the sinus removed. There are two ways to remove the anterior sinus wall: (a) By entering the sphenoid sinus anterior and in-
ferior to the ethmoid cavity created by the above steps.
(b) By enlarging the opening of sphenoid sinus with
Blakesley forceps or J-curette. Sinus opening is identified after removal of the posterior-inferior portion of superior turbinate near the nasal septum and about 1.0 cm above the upper border of poste­rior choana.
7. Nasal packs. Finally the nasal packs are applied, if sep­tal surgery has also been done with FESS or to stop any bleeding from the nasal cavity.
POSTOPERATIVE CARE
It is individualized according to the extent of surgery done.
1. Removal of nasal packs. Nasal packs, if kept, are re­moved at the time of discharge 24 h after the operation.
2. Antibiotics. An intraoperative intravenous antibiotic (amoxiclav, cephalosporin or quinolone) is adminis­tered and then continued for 7–10 days by oral route.
3. Antihistaminics. For allergic patients.
4. Analgesics. For relief of postoperative pain.
5. Nasal irrigations. Saline irrigations are started after 1 week postoperatively to remove blood clots, crusts and secretions and continued once or twice a day for 1 week.
6. Steroid nasal sprays. Required in cases of nasal allergy or those operated for nasal polyps.
7. Endoscopic toilet. Blood clots, crusts and debris are removed by suction and forceps from the ethmoid area lateral to middle turbinate. Any adhesion formation

in the nose is divided with suction. Healthy mucosa should not be disturbed. Suction can be done from within the maxillary sinus with a curved cannula. Since the endoscopic clearance is a painful process, topical nasal anaesthetic with a decongestant is sprayed before the procedure.
Patient pays weekly visits for inspection of the cavity for 4 weeks and thereafter as required till mucosalization of the cavity is complete.
COMPLICATIONS
They are similar to conventional surgery of ethmoid com­plex and can be divided into major and minor. Mostly they involve orbit or skull base, or are of general nature (see Table 90.1). Many of the complications are prevent­able by careful surgical technique.

Direct Laryngoscopy
It is direct visualization of larynx and hypopharynx.
INDICATIONS
A. DIAGNOSTIC
1. When indirect laryngoscopy is not possible as in in­fants and young children, and the symptomatology points to larynx and/or hypopharynx, e.g. hoarseness, dyspnoea, stridor and dysphagia.
2. When indirect laryngoscopy has not been successful, e.g. due to excessive gag reflex or overhanging epiglot­tis obscuring a part or complete view of the larynx.
3. To examine hidden areas of: (a) Hypopharynx. Base of tongue, valleculae and lower
part of pyriform fossa.
(b) Larynx. Infrahyoid epiglottis, anterior commissure,
ventricles and subglottic region.
4. To find the extent of growth and take a biopsy.
B. THERAPEUTIC
1. Removal of benign lesions of larynx, e.g. papilloma, fibroma, vocal nodule, polyp or cyst.
2. Removal of foreign bodies from larynx and hypo pharynx.
3. Dilatation of laryngeal strictures.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
PROCEDURE
1. A piece of gauze is placed on the upper teeth to protect them against trauma.
2. Laryngoscope is lubricated with a little autoclaved liq­uid paraffin or jelly.
3. Laryngoscope is held by the handle in the left hand. Right hand is used to retract the lips and guide the laryngoscope and to handle suction and instruments.
4. Laryngoscope is introduced by one side of the tongue which is pushed to the opposite side till posterior third of tongue is reached. It is then moved to the midline and lifted forward to bring the epiglottis in view.
5. Laryngoscope is now advanced behind the epiglottis and lifted forward without levering it on the upper teeth or jaw (Figure 91.1). This gives good view of the interior of the larynx.
6. If anterior commissure laryngoscope is being used, its tip can be advanced further between the ventricular bands to examine the ventricles and anterior commis­sure. It can be passed between the vocal cords to exam­ine the subglottic region.
7. Following structures are examined serially: Base of tongue, right and left valleculae, epiglottis, (its tip, lingual and laryngeal surfaces), right and left pyriform sinuses, aryepiglottic folds, arytenoids, postcricoid re­gion, both false cords, anterior and posterior commis­sure, right and left ventricles, right and left vocal cords and subglottic area. Mobility of vocal cords should also be observed.
1. Diseases or injuries of cervical spine.
2. Moderate or marked respiratory obstruction unless the airway has been provided by tracheostomy.
3. Recent coronary occlusion or cardiac decompensation.
ANAESTHESIA
General anaesthesia is preferred though this procedure can be performed under local anaesthesia. In infants and young children, no anaesthesia may be required if proce­dure is for diagnostic purpose.
POSITION
Patient lies supine. Head is elevated by 10–15 cm by placing a pillow under the occiput or by raising head flap of the operation table. Neck is flexed on thorax and the head extended on atlanto-occipital joint (barking-dog position).

SECTION X — Operative Surgery
A right-angled telescope can be used to see the under­surface of vocal cords and the walls of the subglottis. After the procedure is completed, laryngoscope is withdrawn and lips and teeth examined for any injury.
POSTOPERATIVE CARE
1. Patient is kept in coma position to prevent aspiration
of blood or secretions.
2. Patient’s respiration should be watched for any laryn-
geal spasm and cyanosis.
3. Trauma to larynx, especially if repeated attempts at la-
ryngoscopy have been made. It may lead to laryngeal
oedema and respiratory distress.
4. Bleeding may occur from the operative site. Patient may spit blood. Care should be taken to prevent aspiration.
COMPLICATIONS
1. Injury to lips and tongue if they are nipped between the teeth and the laryngoscope.
2. Injury to teeth. They may get dislodged and fall into pharynx.
3. Bleeding.
4. Laryngeal oedema.

Bronchoscopy
Bronchoscopy is of two types:
1. Rigid.
2. Flexible fibreoptic.
RIGID BRONCHOSCOPY
INDICATIONS
Diagnostic
1. To find out the cause for wheezing, haemoptysis or un­explained cough persisting for more than 4 weeks.
2. When X-ray chest shows: (a) Atelectasis of a segment, lobe or entire lung. (b) Opacity localized to a segment or lobe of lung. (c) Obstructive emphysema—to exclude foreign body. (d) Hilar or mediastinal shadows.
3. Vocal cord palsy.
4. Collection of bronchial secretions for culture and sen­sitivity tests, acid fast bacilli, fungus and malignant cells.
Therapeutic
1. Removal of foreign bodies.
2. Removal of retained secretions or mucus plug in cases of head injuries, chest trauma, thoracic or abdominal surgery, or comatosed patients.
ANAESTHESIA
General anaesthesia with no endotracheal tube or with only a small bore catheter is often preferred. It can also be done under topical surface anaesthesia.
POSITION
Same as for direct laryngoscopy.
DETAILS OF TECHNIQUE
1. A piece of gauze or a dental guard is placed on the up­per teeth for their protection against injury.
2. Proper-sized bronchoscope is lubricated with a swab of autoclaved liquid paraffin or jelly. It is held by the shaft in surgeons right hand in a pen-like fashion. Fin­gers of the left hand are used to retract the upper lip and guide the bronchoscope.
3. Now looking through the scope, tip of epiglottis is identified first and the scope passed behind it and the epiglottis lifted forward to expose the glottis. Now bronchoscope is rotated 90° clockwise so that its bev­elled tip is in the axis of glottis to ease its entry into the trachea. Once trachea is entered, scope is rotated back to the original position.
4. Bronchoscope is gradually advanced and the entire tracheobronchial tree examined. Axis of bronchoscope should be made to correspond with axes of the trachea and bronchi. To achieve this, head and neck are flexed to the left when examining the right bronchial tree and vice versa.
Openings of all the segmental bronchi in both the
lungs are examined in seriatim.
5. Direct vision, right angled and retrograde telescopes can be used for magnification and detailed examination.
6. Biopsy of the lesion of suspicious area can be taken.
7. Secretions can be collected for exfoliative cytology, or bacteriologic examination.
POSTOPERATIVE CARE
1. Keep the patient in humid atmosphere.
2. Watch for respiratory distress. This could be due to la­ryngeal spasm or subglottic oedema if the procedure had been unduly prolonged or the bronchoscope in­troduced repeatedly. Inspiratory stridor and supraster­nal retraction will indicate need for tracheostomy.
TECHNIQUE
There are two methods to introduce bronchoscope:
1. Direct method. Here bronchoscope is introduced di­rectly through the glottis.
2. Through laryngoscope. Here glottis is first exposed with the help of a spatular type laryngoscope and then the bronchoscope is introduced through the laryn­goscope into the trachea. Laryngoscope is then with­drawn. This method is useful in infants and young children, and in adults who have short neck and thick tongue.
COMPLICATIONS
1. Injury to teeth and lips.
2. Haemorrhage from the biopsy site.
3. Hypoxia and cardiac arrest.
4. Laryngeal oedema.
PRECAUTIONS DURING BRONCHOSCOPY
1. Select proper size of bronchoscope according to pa­tient’s age (see Table A1 in Appendix II).
2. Do not force bronchoscope through closed glottis.

3. Repeated removal and introduction of bronchoscope should be avoided.
4. Procedure should not be prolonged beyond 20 min in infants and children, otherwise it may cause subglottic oedema in postoperative period.
FLEXIBLE FIBREOPTIC BRONCHOSCOPY
These days flexible fibreoptic bronchoscopy has replaced rigid bronchoscopy for diagnostic procedures particularly in adults. It provides magnification and better illumina­tion, and because of the smaller size of scope permits examination of subsegmental bronchi. It is also easy to
use in patients with neck or jaw abnormalities and inju­ries where rigid bronchoscopy may almost be impossible technically. This procedure can be performed under topi­cal anaesthesia and is very useful for bedside examination of the critically ill patients. The suction/biopsy channel provided in the fibrescope helps to remove secretions, inspissated plugs of mucus or even small foreign bodies. Flexible bronchoscope can also be easily passed through endotracheal tube or the tracheostomy opening. Howev­er, it has limited utility in children because of the prob­lems of ventilation.
Table 92.1 gives the comparative advantages and dis-
advantages of flexible and rigid bronchoscopy.

Oesophagoscopy
Oesophagoscopy is of three types:
1. Rigid oesophagoscopy.
2. Flexible fibreoptic oesophagoscopy.
3. Transnasal oesophagoscopy.
RIGID OESOPHAGOSCOPY
INDICATIONS
Diagnostic
1. To investigate cause for dysphagia, e.g. cancer oesoph­agus, cardiac achalasia, strictures, oesophagitis, diver­ticulae, etc.
2. To find cause for retrosternal burning, e.g. reflux oe­sophagitis or hiatus hernia.
3. To find cause for haematemesis, e.g. oesophageal varices.
4. Secondaries neck with unknown primary (as a part of panendoscopy).
Therapeutic
1. Removal of a foreign body.
2. Dilatation in case of oesophageal strictures or cardiac achalasia.
3. Endoscopic removal of benign lesions, e.g. fibroma, papilloma, cysts, etc.
4. Insertion of Souttar’s or Mousseau-Barbin tube in pal­liative treatment of oesophageal carcinoma.
5. Injection of oesophageal varices.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
1. Trismus-makes the procedure technically difficult.
2. Disease of cervical spine, e.g. cervical trauma, spon­dylosis, tuberculous spine, osteophytes and kyphosis. They make rigid oesophagoscopy technically difficult. Flexible fibreoptic oesophagoscopy is performed in these cases.
3. Receding mandible.
4. Aneurysm of aorta for fear of rupture and fatal haem­orrhage.
5. Advanced heart, liver or kidney disease may be a rela­tive contraindication.
ANAESTHESIA
General anaesthesia with orotracheal intubation with tube in the left corner of the mouth. It can be performed under local anaesthesia in selected individuals.
POSITION
Same as for direct laryngoscopy. Patient lies supine, head is elevated by 10-15 cm, neck flexed on chest and head extended at atlanto-occipital joint. The purpose of this position is to attain the axes of mouth, pharynx and oe­sophagus in a straight line to pass the rigid tube easily. This position can be achieved with the help of an assis­tant or a special head rest.
TECHNIQUE
1. A piece of gauze is placed over the upper teeth to pro­tect them or a dental guard.
2. Oesophagoscope is lubricated with a swab of auto­claved liquid paraffin or jelly.
3. The oesophagoscope is held by its proximal end in a pen-like fashion and introduced into the mouth by the right side of the tongue and then towards the middle of its dorsum.
Now there are four basic steps:
1. Identification of arytenoids. Once oesophagoscope has been introduced to the back of tongue, it is ad­vanced gently by the left thumb and index finger. Epi­glottis is first seen, then the endotracheal tube and a little further down arytenoids can be identified.
2. Passing the cricopharyngeal sphincter. Keeping the tip of oesophagoscope strictly in the midline, behind the larynx, it is lifted with movements of left thumb to open the hypopharynx. With slow but sustained pressure, the sphincter will open and then the tip of oesophagoscope can be guided easily into the oesoph­agus. Never apply force to open the sphincter. Some­times, a fine bougie can be used to find the lumen. An additional dose of muscle relaxant may be required if sphincter does not open. Once oesophagus has been entered, it is easier to advance the scope, provided oe­sophageal lumen is kept constantly in view.
3. Crossing the aortic arch and left bronchus. In an adult, this natural narrowing lies about 25 cm from the incisors. Aortic pulsation can be seen. When crossing this area, head of the patient is slightly low­ered so that oesophageal lumen is in line with that of the scope.
4. Passing the cardia Head and shoulders remain below the level of the table, head being slightly higher than the shoulders and moved slightly to the right. At this stage, the oesophagoscope points to the left anterior­superior iliac spine. Cardia is identified by its redder and more velvety or rugose mucosa.
