Posterior septal branch of the sphenopalatine artery [49]: This artery serves as the vascular ped­icle for nasoseptal reconstructive aps. The vessel runs 2–6 mm inferior to the sphenoid ostium, within the mucosa superior to the choana.
Bolger’s parallelogram [50]: parallelogram which is traditionally used for identication of sphenoid osteum; it is dened by following landmarks.
Surgical steps:
Endoscopic transethmoid approach:
1. Complete ethmoidectomy is done.
2. The basal lamellae of middle turbinate is
identied.
3. A window is made through the basal lamella
to expose the superior turbinate.
4. The sphenoid osteum is located after lateral-
izing the superior turbinate.
5. The oor of the orbit when maxillary antros-
tomy is done can be used as marker as the
superior limit when searching for the sphe-
noid ostium, as the sphenoid ostium lies below
the level of the oor of the orbit.
6. The inferior part of ST can be removed for
further widening of the sphenoid osteum
using true cutting instrument.
7. When enlarging the sphenoid osteum, the
nasoseptal branch of sphenopalatine artery
may get injured and can cause troublesome
hemorrhage.
Endoscopic transnasal approach:
2. Lateralization of ST to expose the sphenoid osteum.
3. Sphenoid osteum is widened medially and inferiorly.
4. This approach is used in isolated sphenoid sinus diseases or for transsphenoid approach for sellar or parasellar lesions [44, 4952].
Frontal sinus: Excellent understanding of frontal sinus anat-
omy is imperative to achieve optimal surgical outcomes. There are many endoscopic approaches and surgeries for sinus depending upon the anat­omy, relationship of the frontal osteum to the sur­rounding structures, and extent of frontal sinus disease.

Frontal sinus anatomy [53]:
1. Following are the relation of frontoethmoidal recess:
• Anterior: uncinate, agger nasi, and Kuhn-
type frontal cells
• Posterior: ethmoid bulla, suprabullar, and
supraorbital ethmoid cells
• Lateral: uncinate, agger nasi, lamina
papyracea
• Medial: attachment of the middle turbinate
and lateral lamellae of the cribriform plate
The frontal sinus outow tract is depen­dent on the anatomic relationships of various structures, including the uncinate process, middle turbinate, agger nasi, and frontoeth­moid cells. Most commonly, the uncinate pro­cess ascends from its inferior and anterior attachments to the inferior turbinate and lacri­mal bone, respectively, to blend in with the

sinus
medial wall of the agger nasi cell (1in Figure above) In such cases—85% of the time—the frontal sinus will drain between the uncinate process and the middle turbinate. In the remaining cases (no 2 and 3in Figure above), the uncinate attaches to the middle turbinate or the skull base, resulting in the frontal sinus draining directly into the infundibulum.
2. The axilla of the middle turbinate as it attaches to the lateral nasal wall marks the anteroinfe­rior limit of the agger nasi region.
3. The slope of the posterior table of the frontal sinus as it joins the ethmoid skull base deter­mines the anterior-to-posterior dimension of the frontal.
4. The anterior ethmoid artery is often at the pos­terior margin of the frontal recess.
5. Type of Frontal Cells (Kuhn’s Classication):
Bent and Kuhn divided the frontal infundibulum
cells into four categories, according to their rela­tionship to the agger nasi cell and the orbital roof.
Type 1 was dened as a single anterior eth-
moid cell within the frontal recess above the agger cell.
• Type 2 was dened as a strand of two or more anterior ethmoid cells above the agger nasi cells.
AL GRAWANY
26 Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery
• Type 3 represented a single cell located above the agger nasi and extending superiorly from the recess, through the ostium, up into the frontal sinus with occupation of nearly 50% of the sinus.
• Type 4 described as a single, but isolated cell existing completely within the frontal sinus and has no connection to the frontal recess. Surgical approach [5355]:
1. The approach to the frontal sinus starts with uncinectomy.
2. The frontal recess is approached from a posterior­to-anterior and a medial-to-lateral direction.
3. 45°/30° endoscope is used for precise visualization.
4. The anterior ethmoid artery is often identied at the posterior border of the supraorbital eth­moid cell or at the posterior aspect of the fron­tal recess.
5. The frontal sinus most commonly drains between the middle turbinate and the agger nasi-uncinate complex; the drainage pathway is most frequently medial and posterior to the posterior wall of the agger nasi.
6. After the agger nasi and any Kuhn frontal cells are removed, the opening to the frontal sinus may be enlarged anteriorly and laterally using a Hosemann frontal sinus punch.
7. Endoscopic frontal procedures can be described by the following classication, based on Wolfgang Draf’s initial work in 1991 for endonasal frontal recess dissections:
• Draf I: Removal of the superior uncinate
with preservation of the agger nasi.
• Draf IIa: Removal of all cells within the
frontal recess.
• Draf IIb: Draf IIa dissection plus removal
of the ipsilateral oor of the frontal recess, i.e., from septum to lamina papyracea.
• Draf III: Bilateral Draf IIb dissection plus
removal of the intersinus septum and the superior nasal septum to create a single com­mon opening, i.e., from lamina papyracea of one side to other side.

Take Home Messages
• Anatomical orientation of the nose and paranasal sinuses is the most important step before performing an endoscopic sinus surgery.
• It is important to review the CT scan before the surgery thoroughly assessing the CLOSE mnemonic.
• Different approaches and extent of sur­gery should be kept in mind for success­ful surgical outcome and to be able to manage any anatomical variation during the surgery.

27.1 Introduction
Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is an effective treatment modality for sinus dis­eases, especially for patients who fail appropriate medical therapy. The outcomes of FESS have improved over time because of multiple factors like technologic advances, improved surgical training, and a better understanding of the dis­ease’s pathophysiology. The outcome and com­plications of surgery are affected by multiple factors, including patient-related factors, pathol­ogy, and surgeon-related factors.
The reported complications of FESS are not uncommon. A literature review reveals a range of signicant complications between 0.3% and

22.4% (median 7.0%) [1]. The bloody surgical eld decreases the visualization and is associated with higher complication rates. It is always safer to abort the procedure and plan elective second sur­gery if proper hemostasis cannot be achieved. Using image guidance during the surgery decreases the incidence of complications signicantly [2]. The global relative ratio of complications on the right side is reported to be 55–86% and found to be more common than the left side [3, 4].
Proper preoperative preparation, including thorough history taking, physical examination, and detailed interpretation of the CT scans, will alert the surgeon to the presence of any anatomi­cal variations, which might increase the chance of damage to any vital structures including the orbit and skull base.

27.3 Prevention ofComplications
• Knowledge, skill, and experience of the surgeon
• Patient checklist prior to surgery, which includes:
– Sinus-skull base anatomy imaging – Maxillary-to-ethmoid sinus ratio – Slope of the skull base – Cribriform plate/Olfactory cleft – Anterior and posterior ethmoidal arteries
location – Lamina papyracea – Optic nerve and carotid artery positions in
the sphenoid sinus – Presence of Onodi cell – Anatomic variations/Asymmetric skull
base
Multiple ways were used to categorize the complications of FESS, either to the severity or to location (Table27.1).

27.4 Intraoperative Complications
27.4.1 Intranasal Complications
Diffuse mucosal bleeding, which affects the operation ow and its safety, occurs mainly in the setting of active inamed mucosa and nasal polyposis in the absence of proper preoperative and intraoperative preparation. About 5% of the endoscopic sinus surgery is affected by diffuse bleeding, and about 1.4% of the procedures are canceled [6, 7]. The rate of peri- or postopera­tive bleeding is supposed to be around 2% alto­gether; transfusion was needed in about 0.2% of cases [8, 9].
• A preoperative systemic steroid (e.g., 30mg/
day prednisone for 5 days) and possibly add­ing topical cortisone treatment can lead to less bleeding, which reduces the duration of surgery [5].
• Lifting the head and the upper part of the
patient’s body for about 10–20°.

• Applying local, drug-induced vasoconstric­tion [1013].
• Topical vasoconstriction by epinephrine (usu­ally 1:1000) [14]. Optic nerve damage and blindness after the application of pads of adrenaline have been reported [15]. The risk of side effects is 0.05%, and it was concluded that the topical application of epinephrine 1:1000 is safe in adults who have no prior car­diac damage. 0.05% oxymetazoline is used, with subsequent use of 0.1% oxymetazoline for children; in selected cases, epinephrine 1:2000 can be used [16, 17].
• Controlled hypotension by anesthesia.
• 50–60 or 80 mmHg for elderly individuals, and a decrease of the systolic blood pressure less than 100mmHg [3, 18]. Note, the mean arterial blood pressure must not be decreased to less than 85% of the initial. Also, note that dangerous complications like organ ischemia have been seen in 0.02–0.06% of cases [19,
20, 22].
• Heart rate and blood loss have been shown to have a relationship, and there is a recommen­dation for a pulse rate of 60 per minute [5].
• The insertion of 3% H
using saturated cot-
2O2
ton wool strips is recommended to suppress capillary bleeding [23].
• Use of tranexamic acid.
– Tranexamic acid is applied: perioperative
administration (3 ×1 g daily for 5 days, starting 2h before the operation) is recom­mended [24].
– Tranexamic acid (10 mg/kg) is adminis-
tered intravenously at the beginning of the sinus surgery, leading to a signicant improvement of the hemostasis in the sur­gical area [25].
• Rinsing the surgical eld with 40° hot water is also helpful [26].
Sphenopalatine artery: In 80%, the spheno­palatine foramen is located in the superior nasal meatus or the transition area between the middle nasal meatus and the superior nasal meatus, directly behind or below the ethmoidal crest of the palatine bone. Several ostia are found in about 13% of cases [
27, 28]. In 97% of cases, the SPA
is divided into two or more branches. In 64% of cases, 3–10 branches may enter the lateral nasal wall [29, 30]. The nasoseptal branch of the sphe­nopalatine artery traverses through the lower third of the anterior wall of the sphenoid sinus and the surgeons entering the sphenoid sinus should avoid injury to the vessel. In approxi­mately 3% of pituitary surgery, postoperative bleeding occurs from this vessel [
5].
Resection of the middle turbinate near its pos­terior insertion site along the lateral nasal wall, aggressive enlargement of the maxillary ostium in a posterior direction, and enlargement of the sphenoid ostium in an inferior direction all may cause bleeding from the sphenopalatine artery or one of its branches. Generally bleeding from the sphenopalatine artery is managed by identica­tion of the vessel and its branches and controlled by clipping or electrocautery methods (Fig.27.1).
The anterior ethmoid artery: Cadaveric stud­ies showed variability of the location of the ante­rior ethmoid artery. The distance from nostrils to the anterior ethmoid artery at the skull base is approximately 6–7 cm, and the distance to the
27.4.2 Arterial Injury
Arterial bleeding sources are the sphenopalatine artery, anterior ethmoid artery, and the posterior ethmoid artery. Knowing their anatomy will help to avoid their injury.

posterior ethmoid artery is approximately 7–8cm [3133].
The artery could be identied endoscopically within the posterior wall of the most superior suprabullar ethmoidal cell and approximately 11mm posterior to the common wall between the posterior wall of the frontal infundibulum and this superior-most suprabullar cell [3135]. According to anatomical studies, arteries are missing in about 5–10% of cases. The anterior ethmoid artery traverses the skull base around 12 mm anterior to the posterior ethmoid artery (Figs.27.2, 27.3, and 27.4).
Since the blood ows through the anterior eth­moid artery from a postero-lateral to an antero­medial direction, the angle between the lamina papyracea to the artery is 60° and its disruption must be managed to avoid retraction of the artery into the orbit. Bipolar cautery is preferred to con­trol the bleeding, to avoid transmitting the electri­cal current to the skull base and orbit. The external approach can also be used for control.
The posterior ethmoid artery: It runs 5 mm anterior to the sphenoethmoid angle, which is formed by the junction of the anterior sphenoid wall and the posterior ethmoid roof. It is smaller than the anterior ethmoidal arteries, runs sym­metrical and linear in most cases with bony dehiscences noted in approximately 60% of cases. The distance to the optic nerve is 8–9mm. According to literature, absence of arteries is noted in 2–34% of cases. The artery is most com­monly injured during sphenoid sinus entry or during manipulations of the posterior ethmoid bone [5]. Bipolar cautery is preferred to control the bleeding, to avoid transmitting the electrical current to the skull base and orbit (Fig.27.5).

27.4.3 Intraorbital Complications
The most common orbital complication of the endoscopic sinus surgery is a trauma of the lam­ina papyracea [36]. The incidence of a periorbital injury is around 2% [6, 8].
27.4.4 Orbital Emphysema
Postoperative emphysema of the eyelid may occur following nose-blowing, sneezing, or after anesthesia with mask ventilation. In several cases, there have been two likely observations— either a surgical defect or a history of fracture in lamina papyracea.
Mainly, in the upper eyelid, the emphysema develops. Orbital emphysema usually managed conservatively and resorbed within a week. Nose­blowing and sneezing are advised to the patient to be avoided (Fig.27.6) [38, 39].

27.4.5 Orbital Fat Exposure
Injury to the lamina papyracea may occur during uncinectomy, or aggressive lateral dissection dur­ing ethmoidectomy. The injury most likely occurs due to aggressive debrider powered instrumenta­tion or in the presence of hypoplastic-atelectatic maxillary sinus.
Routine palpation of the globe is vital while operating in this region, watching for any

movement by performing intraoperative pressure test described by Draf and Stankiewicz [5]. In case orbital fat is seen, manipulation of the fat within the ethmoid sinus should be avoided to prevent further injury. Uses of suction manipula­tion and powered instrumentation should be avoided. No repair of this defect is needed. If needed, a silicon sheet can be placed temporarily on the area of the defect. Serial examinations of the eye should be performed during the remain­der of surgery to ensure that intraorbital hemor­rhage has not developed. Nasal packing should usually be avoided in such cases (Fig.27.7).
