• Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) comprises a group of disorders that arise from complex inammatory processes with varied presentations.
• Environmental and exogenous factors play major role in etiology.
• Tremendous burden on healthcare sys­tem with signicant negative impact on patients physical, psychological, and social functioning.
• The chapter is intended for all clinicians who are likely to diagnose and manage adult patients with CRS and applies to all settings.
• Aim to improve diagnostic accuracy, reduce inappropriate use of radiological investigations and antibiotics use.
• There are many guidelines for manage­ment of CRS and the recommendation by EPOS2020 paper is the latest and has been widely used.
• EPOS2020 steering group has intro­duced a new classication for CRS: Primary and Secondary CRS with local­ized and diffuse subgroups, based on anatomical distribution and endotype dominance.
• No standardized therapy for CRS and it should be treated with appropriate med­ical therapy. Surgery is considered for patients who have failed medical treatment.
• Substantial level 1a evidence suggests that topical corticosteroids improve out­comes in patients with CRS, including subgroups with and without nasal polyps.
• Topical saline nasal irrigation with iso­tonic saline is highly recommended— Level 1a evidence.
• Dupilumab, (anti IL-4Receptor alpha) monoclonal antibody has been intro­duced in 2019 to treat patients with CRS with polyps who meet the criteria.
• Endoscopic sinus surgery aims to eradi­cate the inammatory tissues and oste­itis, improve adequate drainage and ventilation, restore mucociliary func­tion, increase the access for topical, and to improve the quality of life.
• Approximately 15–20% of patients require revision sinus surgery.

Majority of rhinologists agree that ESS for chronic rhinosinusitis should be a “disease­directed” and mucosal-sparing operation, giving the sinuses the chance to normally restore the mucosa and the drainage pathways [13].
It is important to review the CT scan before the surgery thoroughly to assess the important structures and landmarks to plan a safe surgery; in order not to forget any important detail, the following mnemonic can be followed:

Palpating the uncinate
26.2 Uncinectomy
E. Al Duhirat et al.
Anterior-to-posterior uncinectomy using sickle knife
The uncinate is a sickle-shaped bone divided into three parts: the middle portion of the uncinate process attaches to the lacrimal bone and lamina papyracea, and the horizontal portion attaches to the ethmoidal process of the inferior turbinate and palatine bone. The superior portion of the uncinate extends to a varying degree into the frontal recess and may insert into the lamina pap­yracea, skull base, middle turbinate, or combina­tion of these [47].
It projects posteriorly forming a gutter (the infundibulum), and it has a free edge that creates a space between this free edge and the bulla eth­moidalis (hiatus semilunaris) [7].
26.2.1 The Anterior Posterior
Approach
• Incise the uncinate process at the level of its
middle and inferior third using a sickle knife
or a Freer’s elevator.
• Extend the incision inferiorly and posteriorly
along its horizontal aspect.
• Remove the uncinate with a straight biting
Blakesley forceps [8].
• Enlarge the incision superiorly (if indicated)
to open the infundibulum toward the frontal
outow tract after making sure that there is a
safe distance from the orbit.
• Remaining superior and inferior attachments
of the uncinate can be cut with a through-
cutting forceps.
• Identify the natural ostium of the maxillary sinus, the recessus terminalis, if any, and the frontal recess.
• This anteroposterior approach has a higher risk of orbital penetration. Exposed orbital fat should be left alone and should not be manip­ulated [912].
26.2.2 The Posterior Anterior
Approach
• Identify the uncinate process, hiatus semilunaris, and infundibulum using an angled probe.
• Gently fracture the uncinate process with the angled probe.
• Pass the pediatric backbiter into the middle meatus which is easier to be introduced about the midway up the middle portion of the uncinate before it is slid down the free edge until it comes to rest on the transition of the middle and horizontal parts of the uncinate.
• Rotate the backbiter so that the biting blade is opened upward, in the vertical plane of the meatus.
• Then rotate it horizontally to engage the pos­terior free edge of the uncinate process.
• The uncinate is cut using sequential bites of the backbiter.
• The upper uncinate process (most superior extension) can be dislocated with a ball probe
AL GRAWANY
26 Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery
and gently dissected with a biting forceps if exposure of the frontal recess is indicated.
• In order to expose the natural ostium of the maxillary sinus and avoid its blockage, the tail of the uncinate needs to be removed either using a backbiter, side biter, or microdebrider, with paying attention not to injure the inferior turbinate.
287
This approach is safer as one moves away
from the orbit when dissecting, and thus the risk of inadvertently entering the orbit is reduced [1317].
26.3 Complications
ofUncinectomy
The two areas at risk during uncinectomy are the orbit and the nasolacrimal duct.
• Gently use the backbiter anteriorly while going toward the lacrimal sac/duct (the bony resistance will increase here): medialize the uncinate before biting.
• An uncinate process that is atelectatic and pressed against the lamina has a higher risk of injury to the orbit especially when using the anterior-to-posterior approach [1820].
26.4 Middle Meatal Antrostomy
• When the uncinate process is intact, the height of the lower one-third of the middle turbinate approximates the location of the natural ostium.
• Once the most anterior-inferior aspect of the uncinate has been removed, the natural ostium of the maxillary sinus can be seen.
• The ostium lies at the junction of the anterior and inferior walls of the ethmoidal bulla.
• A curved suction, with its tip directed infero­laterally away from the lamina papyracea, can be passed through the natural ostium into the maxillary sinus.
• The superior border of the natural ostium demarcates the junction of the medial orbital oor with the lamina papyracea.
Widening the maxillary antrum anteriorly using backbiter
Relation of the posterior wall of the maxillary sinus to sphenopalatine artery
An accessory ostium is located within the pos­terior fontanelle of the maxillary sinus behind the natural ostium. Cadaveric studies have shown that 10% of the general population have an acces­sory ostium [21].
• There is no absolute need to enlarge the maxil-
lary ostium for just inammatory diseases.
• In advanced disease (such as allergic fungal
rhinosinusitis and nasal polyps) and revision
surgery, a wide antrostomy may be justied
[2224].
This can be achieved by widening the ostium toward the posterior fontanelle. Widening the ostium will uncover the medial orbital oor, which corresponds to the superior horizontal bony ridge of the antrostomy. Keeping the dissec­tion below the level of the medial orbital oor helps in guiding the surgeon to a safe direction below the level of the skull base [2527].
288

E. Al Duhirat et al.
If identication of the natural ostium is dif­cult or not possible, palpate the posterior fonta­nelle area with the tip of a curved suction tube and enter smoothly into the sinus while checking the orbit during that. Entering the sinus should be performed pointing toward the oor of the sinus cavity while leaning on posterior third of the inferior turbinate.
Inability of the surgeon to locate the proper natural maxillary sinus ostium at surgery may result in the creation of a posterior fontanelle ostium, which is a common cause for ESS failure [
2830], because of the circular ow of mucus
from the natural ostium of the maxillary sinus into the posterior fontanelle ostium [16, 17].
Identifying the posterior wall of the maxillary sinus should be done by the surgeon as it is an important landmark demarcating approximately the anterior wall of the sphenoid sinus which is almost 7cm from the columella, adjacent to the nasal septum posteriorly.
Does enlarging the maxillary sinus ostium affect the long-term results. The role of nitric oxide (NO) in the sinuses is the main reason for this controversy [31]. NO is produced by nitric oxide synthase (NOS) in the mucosa of the sinuses [32, 33]. NO is believed to enhance the mucosa defense by stimulating the ciliary motil­ity and by inhibiting infection by bacteria, viruses, and fungi [34]. Kennedy et al. [11] described the natural size of the maxillary ostium to be 5mm by 5mm; enlarging the ostium may in some patients cause dilution of the concentration of the sinus NO to allow colonization of the sinus by bacteria [35].
26.6 Anterior Ethmoid
The anterior ethmoids are the cells that lie ante­rior to the basal lamella, consist of the ethmoid bulla, agger nasi cell, and the cells that lie against the medial orbital wall anterior to the basal lamellae.
The ethmoid bulla, visible directly behind the free edge of the middle and horizontal portions of uncinate process, the bulla ethmoidalis, like all sinuses, drains via a natural ostium. This is usu­ally found on its posteromedial aspect in the retro-bulla recess, surrounded by the following:
The lamina papyracea laterally.
• Posteriorly the vertical aspect of the basal
lamella of the middle turbinate and the retro-
bulbar recess.
• Anteriorly the ethmoid infundibulum and the
vertical aspect of the uncinate process.
Steps of opening the ethmoid bulla:
• Enter the ethmoidal bulla, at a safe distance
from the orbit, medially and inferiorly.
• Use a J-curette or a straight-forward suction
device to do so.
• Inferior and medial walls are resected, while
the posterior wall is attempted to keep
intact.
• Follow the anterior wall of the ethmoid bulla,
and identify the frontal recess, the roof of the
26.5 Mega-Antrostomy
In this surgery, the posterior part of the antros­tomy is lowered to the oor of the nose with pre­serving the nasolacrimal duct.
In patients who have persistent chronic maxil­lary sinus infections and in cystic brosis patients (abnormal ciliary movement), the antrostomy can be lowered to the oor of the nose thereby to facilitate gravity-dependent drainage and better sinus irrigation.

• The retrobulbar recess lies behind the bulla, and the skull base forms its superior limit.
• If a posterior ethmoidectomy is to be per­formed in addition to opening the bulla, none of its anterior wall is retained. Removing the bulla entirly gives improved access to the pos­terior ethmoid complex but also allows the lamina papyracea to be identied.
• The superior wall of the ethmoid bulla can extend up to the skull base or may be sepa­rated from it by one or more suprabullar cells [36].
Dissection the left ethmoid bulla
ethmoid, and the anterior ethmoid artery (located at the most superior attachment of the anterior wall of the bulla at the roof or right behind).
• Identify the lamina papyracea. The oor of the orbit and the maxillary strut are helpful land­marks to identify the papyracea.
The agger nasi cell is the most anterior eth­moid cell and is present in 98.5% of patients [37]. It is usually seen on the CT scan anterior to the middle turbinate [37, 38].
The major part of the agger nasi cell is placed anterior to the uncinate, and the posterior half of the agger nasi cell is closely related to the upper extension of the uncinate process [39].
Mostly the uncinate/medial wall of agger nasi cell attached to the lamina papyracea. The anterior wall of the agger nasi is formed by the insertion of the middle turbinate into the medial orbital wall anteriorly (the “axilla” of the middle turbinate). The agger nasi is positioned between the nasal bones, the lacrimal bones, and the ascending process of the maxilla.

E. Al Duhirat et al.
Safe exenteration of agger nasi cells may be accomplished with angled forceps parallel to the lamina papyracea which allows exposure of the frontal outow tract. If the microdebrider is used, then the opening is pointed perpendicular or away from the lamina papyracea until the latter is clearly identied.
26.7 Posterior Ethmoid
The posterior ethmoid cells are bounded
• Anteriorly by the basal lamella of the middle
turbinate.
• Posteriorly by the anterior wall of the sphe-
noid sinus.
• Medially by the superior turbinate.
• Laterally by the orbital apex.
• Superiorly by the skull base.
Enter the superior meatus through the ground lamella in a region. To do this, mark the transition from the posterior horizontal ground lamella to the vertical ground lamella at the point where it turns vertically, next to the middle turbinate or through the basal lamella at the middle third (below imaginary horizontal line drawn at the level of the posterior medial orbital oor to the nasal septum), then the microdebrider or straight Blakesley is pushed through the ground lamella.
Widen this point until the superior meatus and anterior edge of the superior turbinate are identi­ed with certainty.
The low, medial entry through the basal lamella minimizes the potential risk of damage to the skull base which may occur if entry is made higher on its vertical portion or above the level of the posterior medial orbital oor [25, 40].
Once the posterior ethmoids are entered through the ground lamella, the superior meatus and superior turbinate are identied and the recess that one can see from the nasal cavity between the superior and middle turbinates as seen from the septal side. This space is the com­mon outow tract for the posterior ethmoid cells.
The safe way to perform complete ethmoidec­tomy is
• Early identication of the lamina papyracea.
• Remove the inferior anterior and posterior ethmoid cells until the sphenoid face is reached.
• Identify the skull base at the posterior ethmoid or sphenoid sinus roof.
• Dissect along the skull base from a posterior to anterior direction.
• It is safer to make the superior ethmoid dissec­tion after sphenoidotomy. This allows safer identication of the posterior ethmoid roof and the posteromedial orbital wall, by follow­ing the sphenoid roof (planum) and the lateral sphenoid wall; this is done retrogradely (posteroanterior).
Identication of the superior turbinate makes
it easier to identify the sphenoid ostium which lies medial to the superior turbinate in an uncomplicated case [4144].
• In revision and severe polyposis cases in which the superior turbinates can’t be identi­ed or the anatomy is distorted, the posterior medial orbital oor provides an important landmark to help the surgeon in nding the level of initial entry into the sphenoid sinus ostium area, next to the posterior nasal sep­tum. An inferior ethmoidectomy should be completed to identify the inferior portion of the lamina papyracea and its junction with the medial orbital oor [2325].
• The posterior ethmoid air cells that extend inferolaterally along the slope of the lamina papyracea into the retromaxillary area should be cleared [
45].
• Regularly palpate the eye prior to removing any additional ethmoidal cells.
• The posterior ethmoidal artery and nerve can be identied in the sphenoethmoidal recess, in front and above the anterior wall of the sphe­noid sinus.
Be aware that the skull base slants downwards
as the posterior ethmoid is approached.
• Identify the presence of an Onodi cell preop­eratively as well as intraoperatively to avoid injury to the orbital apex.
• Dissect from “known to unknown” during eth­moidectomy and check around (especially) behind the bony partitions before removing them.

• The roof of the maxillary sinus is an important landmark so keep it in mind when dissecting through the ethmoid cavity.
• Learn to “zoom out.” To avoid getting lost in the ethmoid cavity, intermittently bring the endoscope out of the ethmoid cavity anterior to the middle turbinate to get an overall pic­ture of where dissection is occurring and to reorient yourself during ethmoidectomy to the proper direction.
• Avoid mucosal stripping.
26.8 Sphenoethmoidal Cell
(Onodi Cell)
The posterior most ethmoidal air cell extends posteriorly to lie superolateral to the sphenoid sinus and thus in close proximity to the optic nerve and internal carotid artery [46].
The incidence of Onodi cell can be as high as
42% [47].
On the coronal cut of a CT scan identify the
solid bony rim of the posterior choanae, the cell sitting directly above this is the sphenoid sinus. Any horizontal bony septation above this cell would be suspicious that there may be Onodi cell present.

26.9 The Anterior Ethmoid Artery
Runs from lateral to medial across the fovea eth­moidalis at a 45° angle. Mostly it is found behind the upward continuation of the bulla ethmoidalis. When a suprabullar recess is present, the anterior

The middle turbinate should be preserved. And not to be destabilized during surgery. The most common cause for destabilization of the middle turbinate is fracturing its anterior vertical inser­tion from the skull base or cutting the horizontal portion of the basal lamellae.
Excessive manipulation may fracture the tur-
binate’s insertion to the skull base and makes it oppy, which might lead to lateralization of the middle turbinate and obstruction of the middle meatus and frontal recess postoperatively.
Resection of the inferior portion of the basal
lamellae may injure a branch of the sphenopala­tine artery. Bleeding in this area can be controlled using bipolar/monopolar diathermy.
26.11 Concha Bullosa (Middle
Turbinate Pneumatization)
Identied in 35% (range 14–53%) of patients.
Resection the lateral lamella of the middle tur-
binate (concha bullosa) improves access to the
middle meatus and to clear the disease inside the concha bullosa if found.
• A scalpel or sickle knife is used to incise the anterior face of the concha bullosa vertically.
• Endoscopic scissor is used to complete the incision inferiorly to the lateral insertion of the turbinate on the lateral nasal wall, care must be taken as a branch of the sphenopala­tine artery might be encountered here.
• To complete the superior incision posteriorly as high as possible, keeping in mind down slope of the skull base and the turbinate.
26.12 Sphenoidectomy
Sphenoid sinuses are paired and most posteriorly located, endoscopic approaches are least morbid and most preferred approaches. The sphenoid sinus is also the gateway to many extended endo­nasal procedures, including approaches to pitu­itary lesions, other sellar and parasellar lesions, and petroclival lesions amenable to an endonasal approach.
The two main endoscopic pathways to the
sphenoid sinus are the transseptal and transeth­moid approaches. Both require identication of the natural sphenoid ostium.
26.12.1 Anatomical Landmarks
Superior Turbinate: the most consistent land­mark for identication of natural osteum of sphe­noid sinus. The ST is identied after lateralization of middle turbinate. The sphenoid osteum is seen 5–10mm above and medial to the attachment of ST.
Planum Sphenoidale: The sphenoid ostium is
on average 11mm inferior to the skull base and is approximately halfway between the oor of the sphenoid sinus and planum sphenoidale.
Choana: The sphenoid ostium is typically
found 2cm superior to the arch of the choana.
Onodi Cells: pneumatized posterior most eth-
CT scan coronal section showing right concha bullosa
moidal cell which is always lateral and superior to the sphenoid sinus.
