Endotype Dominance
Anatomy
CRS is then further characterised at the mucosal level by the dominant type of immune response triggered by the causative antigen. Inherently, immune responses across mucosal barriers trig­ger alternate molecular pathways to address specic pathogens; Type 1 responses target viruses, Type 2 parasites and Type 3 extracellu­lar bacteria and fungi. These responses subse­quently produce tissue inammation and repair. A dysregulation of these immune responses are thought to be the pathophysiological driver behind many diseases.
In CRS, Type 2 immune responses drives severe nasal polyposis most commonly, and resultantly have been the target of much thera­peutic research [6]. Thus, the current system divides CRS into Type 2 and non-Type 2 as this also reects the current range of therapeutic options as well as the knowledge base.
The management of frontal sinusitis is challenging due to its anatomical location which is not readily accessible, proximity to the orbit and brain and the ease of surgical disorientation. It is highly variable in its size and structure, and it relies on the integrity of its drainage pathway through the lower sinonasal cavity to correctly function [7]. Understanding and condently identifying xed anatomical boundar­ies is essential for safe frontal sinus surgery. These being the nasofrontal beak anteriorly, the posterior table and ethmoid roof posteriorly, the orbital wall and roof laterally and the middle turbinate/intersi­nus septum medially. This is the concept of the ver­tical box (Fig.28.3a) [8].
Inferiorly, the frontal sinus is funnelled down to an area referred to as the ‘ostium’, but it is really a transition zone between upper ethmoid and frontal sinuses. It is here where the vertical

Draf endoscopic sinus procedures are described below, but how they are applied in each frontal sinus phenotype is further discussed later.
Surgical Technique
Mucosal inammation of frontal sinusitis is usually resolved through a multi-modal approach which may include topical therapy, surgical intervention and systemic medication. Surgery aims to obtain tissue specimen and cul­ture, facilitate the delivery of topical therapy and restore or mechanically facilitate mucus clearance.
Surgical interventions have been well described including endoscopic surgical Draf procedures (Type I, IIa, IIb, IIc, III). External procedures include trephination and, rarely, open approaches [9].
Choice of operation on the frontal sinus is dependent on:
• The nature of the underlying mucosal
inammation
• The goal of subsequent management
• How the proposed anatomical modication
helps to achieve this goal
Draf I
Draf I procedure involves the removal of cells within the frontal recess, usually the uncinate, ager nasi and anterior ethmoid bulla but does not remove any of the frontal sinus oor (Fig.28.5).
Draf IIa, b, c
We approach all Draf II procedures in a consistent way, by removing all sinus partitions via a ‘Carolyn’s window’ approach. This involves removing the bone of the frontal process of the maxilla and the nasal process of the frontal bone. This is the ‘nasofrontal beak’ or the agger-fronto­maxilla bony structure. By removal of this bone, the anteroposterior dimension is extended and aids the dissection. This allows for greater visualisation of the boundaries of the frontal recess ensuring complete clearance of the ethmoids at the junction of the posterior table and against the medial orbit.

Key principles include the raising an inferiorly based subperiosteal mucosal ap from the lateral wall. The bone of the nasofrontal beak is removed by high-speed drill (Medtronic IPC 30 K 4 mm choanal burr). The lateral limit is the periosteum of the frontal process of the maxilla (Fig.28.6). The lacrimal sac is exposed. Although the dissection remains lateral to the middle turbinate lamella, the extent of bone removal of the oor of the frontal sinus medial and anterior to the rst olfactory neu­ron denes an extension to a Draf IIb. The Draf IIa is a dissection that remains entirely lateral to the middle turbinate; extension across the nasal septum denes a Draf IIb. The removal of the frontal inter­sinus septum, opening the contralateral frontal sinus into the surgical approach, denes a Draf IIc, often referred to as a Hemi-Lothrop (Figs. 28.7,
28.8, and 28.9).

of lateral wall mucosa over the frontal process of the maxilla is described above or can be extended onto the septum [10]. The rst olfac­tory neuron is always the posterior limit of the dissection.
The septal extension of this ap can be awk­ward, and the septum is often thickened/polyp­oid. In this instance, the septal extension of the graft is foregone, and a free mucosal graft is used. The superior septum posteriorly no further than the rst olfactory neuron and anterior to inferi­orly incorporate the swell body and any high deviation.
Using a 4mm high-speed drill (Medtronic IPC 30K 4mm choanal burr) and a 0 degree endoscope, lateral limits of the periosteum are identied to maximise surgical eld and dene the lateral limits.

Frontal sinus mini-trephination, for obtaining a specimen for culture, is commonly performed with a Seldinger technique (Mini-Trephination Set, Medtronic ENT, Jacksonville, FL) or small incision directly. Optimal placement is 1cm from midline, at the height of the supraorbital foramina, superior to the superior orbital rim. The skin can be mobilised to place the incision within the eyebrow for optimal aesthetics. A
drill is then used with gentle irrigation to drill through the anterior table. Using a guidewire, the frontal cannula is placed. Aspiration of air, blood, mucus or pus may conrm position [12]. Using a 20mL syringe, normal saline is introduced and then aspirated. Resultant uid can be sent via specimen pot, or if low volume (e.g. 0.5 mL) directly into a paediatric blood culture bottle.

The Management oftheFrontal Sinus by Sinusitis Disease Phenotype
The management of the frontal sinus differs according to the underlying nature of the frontal sinusitis disease phenotype. There are three prin­ciples that guide surgical decision-making when frontal sinus surgery is performed: rstly, to dene the nature of the underlying mucosal inammation. Secondly, to identify the goal of subsequent management and nally, how the pro­posed anatomical modication through surgery helps to achieve this goal.
Acute Frontal Sinusitis
The vast majority of patients with acute upper respiratory exacerbations, including those with frontal sinus symptoms, especially when bilat­eral, have a viral, allergy or combination aetiol­ogy. Simple symptomatic relief is the mainstay of management. It is important to avoid unneces­sary use of antibiotics and subsequent potential side effects in this instance [13].
In the 0.5–2% of patients with a suspected bacterial origin, often those with unilateral symp­toms, antibiotics are recommended as the main­stay of therapy. Antibiotics should be culture driven, with the use of broad-spectrum empirical antibiotics covering the most common pathogens (Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus inu- enzae and Moraxella catarrhalis) in the interim [14]. A middle meatal swab is the best option for gaining a culture result for treatment purposes [15]. If the middle meatus does not reveal a cul­ture opportunity, the use of trephination for wash­out and culture may be useful [1].
While obtaining culture information is impor­tant in ARS of the frontal sinus, there is little role for acute frontal sinus surgery. Even in the setting of intracranial and orbital abscess formation, sur­gery on the frontal sinus is not thought to improve outcomes [16]. The spread of bacterial infection is by indirect spread via thrombophlebitis, and the abscess location is often distant to the sinus cavity itself. Even when there is bone loss, this is
not the site of ‘connection’ but an osteomyelitic change and a sign of the need for long-term anti­biotic therapy and not for sinus surgery. This is the nature of the development of complications such as ‘Potts puffy tumour’. Surgery is often required to evacuate or drain an abscess, and a microbiological sample can be taken from the frontal sinus at the time of managing the complication.
Frontal Sinus Involvement inCRS
Primary-Localised CRS
When a single frontal sinus is involved in CRS, it is referred to as a localised CRS.This may be iso­lated to the frontal sinus alone or, if it involves the osteomeatal complex (OMC), includes the anterior ethmoid and maxillary sinus, as they share a common drainage pathway. This pattern of localised CRS suggests an issue with the anat­omy of that subunit.
The predication for management and extent of surgery required depends on underlying on mucosal factors, namely, their endotype domi­nance (Type 2 dominant and non-Type 2 domi­nant). Thus, primary-localised CRS is further characterised.
Localised Type 2 Dominant Frontal CRS: Allergic Fungal Rhinosinusitis
Allergic fungal rhinosinusitis (AFRS) is not sim­ply an inammatory reaction to fungus; it is a hypersensitivity condition [17, 18]. It is charac­terised by the presence of fungal hyphae and eosinophilic mucin within sinuses, in which mucus clearance is impaired and a hypersensitiv­ity reaction has occurred in response to fungal contact. It is imperative to be able to remove the fungal burden from the sinus cavity, both at the time of surgery, and provide clearance of fungal­containing mucus in the future. The only way to achieve this is by providing a very large opening.
Surgical principles in localised AFS-related frontal sinus disease should include a Draf IIa (with wide natural dimensions), Draf IIb or IIc to allow for complete removal of fungi, a wider

mucosal drainage pathway and the application of topical corticosteroid therapy (Fig.28.9).
Peri-operative oral corticosteroids have been shown to be important, with limited evidence on the use of immunotherapy or antifungals in refractory cases [18]. Additional antifungal ther­apies offer little benet [1].
Localised Non-type 2 Dominant Frontal CRS: Isolated or Ostial Occlusion FrontalCRS
Isolated sinusitis is typically an infective phe­nomenon. This is the classic ‘ostial occlusion’ sinus disease [19]. There are many reasons why the mucosa of the frontal recess or OMC may not respond to medical therapy. There are well­dened mucosal remodelling events, such as sub­epithelial brosis and basement membrane thickening, that may not respond to medical ther­apy and result in long-term ostial occlusion [20].
For most primary localised non-type 2 domi­nant CRS patients with frontal sinus involvement after medical therapy, formal modication of the frontal recess itself is often required.
Surgical options include balloon dilatation and Draf IIa. Other modications can be used depending on the anatomy, but extended open­ings are not generally required as reventilation and one-off drainage/washout usually resolves the chronic state [19]. Sinus function, in the form of mucociliary clearance, almost always resumes for these patients.
Primary Diuse CRS
Here, changes are related to inammation rather than anatomical abnormalities and therefore dif­fuse in nature. They are further categorised by endotype dominance and subsequently expressed phenotype.
Primary Diuse Type 2 Dominant: Eosinophilic Chronic Rhinosinusitis (eCRS)
The nature of this condition is characterised by diffuse mucosal inltration by eosinophils (10>/ HPF) and a subsequent inammatory response [1]. It is important to appreciate that eCRS is a chronic inammatory airway disease, often with coexistent adult-onset asthma, which will
require ongoing maintenance. Hence the gen­eral goal of management is to surgically alter the sinuses to produce a simple anatomical box (neo-sinus) allowing for maximal application of topical corticosteroid therapy, and maximal dimensions to prevent mucus plugging in a con­dition that is both hypersecretory and likely to undergo exacerbations during the course of the disease.
Surgery involves creating a simple neo-sinus cavity, and the frontal sinus is connected by Draf III or extended Draf II if the anatomy is wide and disease severity is low (Fig. 28.10). We rarely apply simple Draf IIa surgery in this condition as the frontal sinus is the most common site of poorly controlled mucosa and recurrent polyps [21]. Corticosteroid irrigations are the mainstay of post-surgical therapy [22].
The recent addition of biologicals (monoclo­nal antibodies targeting IgE, IL4 and IL5 inam­matory pathways) to the management ladder in recalcitrant eCRS, particularly in the presence of comorbid asthma, is improving the ability to con­trol the condition in its most severe forms where topical corticosteroid irrigations and surgery have failed [2325].
Primary Diuse Type 2 Dominant: Central Compartment Atopic Disease (CCAD)
The nature of central compartment atopic dis­ease (CCAD) is an exuberant allergic rhinitis resulting in oedema and polypoid change in the central sinonasal cavity with mucus trapping [26]. This typically occurs in younger patients with a good history of inhalant allergy. Imaging often shows central opacication of the para­nasal sinuses, with superior and lateral sparing of the sinus mucosa known as the ‘black halo’ sign [27].
Left untreated, secondary sinus dysfunction occurs that includes mucosa within the frontal sinus, related to the direct extension of polypoid changes into the sinus outow pathway or from lateralisation of the middle turbinate [28].
Patients often complain of barotrauma but still retain smell until late in the disease course.
Management is targeted at the inhalant allergy driving these changes, and once the specic aero-
