of the maxilla, lacrimal bone and lamina papyra-
cea are all exposed with a periosteal elevator Although rarely performed in recent times, it is important for the endoscopic surgeon to appreci­ate this technique when faced with an older patient, who may have undergone this procedure in the past.
In the very rare situation where an open­approach ethmoidectomy is required, the approach of choice would be via a transcutaneous incision, as described earlier. The frontal process
[10]. Bipolar haemostasis of the inferior distal branches of the angular vessels may be required at this point [10]. Using a malleable retractor, the orbital contents are gently lateralised and the anterior ethmoidal artery is ligated [10]. Entry into the ethmoidal sinuses is made through the anterior two thirds of the lamina papyracea [13]. The ethmoidal mucosa is resected. Medially, the middle turbinate can be excised for greater access

[13]. Dissection can proceed posteriorly into sphenoid sinus [13, 16]. Once the ethmoidec­tomy is complete, the incision is closed in layers with careful reattachment of the medial canthus to the underlying periosteum [13, 16].
Tip
The frontoethmoidal suture and anterior eth-
moidal artery are accurate landmarks for the
fovea ethmoidalis and anterior cranial fossa
(at the junction of the frontal bone and lamina
papyracea), and as such dissection should not
proceed superiorly to these landmarks [17].
Frontal Sinus
Endoscopic approaches are the procedure of choice in the management of most frontal sinus pathologies. However, there are specic anatomi­cal and pathological instances when an external approach may be required [18]. In addition to the anatomical complexity, excessive instrumenta­tion of the frontal recess can lead to restenosis, resulting in surgical failure despite repeated endoscopic surgeries. The two commonest open approaches used today include frontal trephina­tion and the frontal osteoplastic ap.
Risk andComplications
Frontal trephination is a safe and effective adjunct in the management of complex frontal sinus sur­gery with a reported complication rate of <10% [20, 21]. However, due to the close vicinity of critically important anatomical structures, com­plications can be severe when they happen. Within the literature, reported complications include infection at trephine site; external scar; numbness of the forehead, upper eyelid and nasal bridge (supraorbital and supratrochlear nerves); bleeding and haematoma (supraorbital and supra­trochlear arteries and veins); cerebrospinal uid leak (transgression of the anterior skull base); and damage to the orbital contents [10, 20].
Pre-procedural CT Scan Assessment
To minimise the risk of complications, preopera­tive evaluation of the CT scan is essential to assess frontal sinus depth, the position of the sinus septum and the relationship of the frontal sinus to the orbit and skull base.
Conventional Frontal Trephination Technique
Frontal Trephination
Frontal trephination is the most common and least invasive open approach to the frontal sinus. First described by Runge in 1750 for draining pus in acute frontal sinusitis, it remains a useful pro­cedure predominantly for this pathology [19]. Using a trephine to drain, decompress and obtain a microbiological sample in a symptomatic or intracranially complicated acute frontal sinusitis may be preferrable to endoscopically accessing a severely inamed anatomically complex and fri­able frontal recess. A conventional frontal tre­phine is usually performed in this setting due to the exibility of burr size, allowing for removal of thick pus and/or placement of a drain or catheter.
Although most commonly performed under a general anaesthetic, a frontal trephine can be per­formed under a local anaesthetic, if required. The transcutaneous approach is usually performed with a medial brow incision. A 0.5–1cm incision is made between the midline and the supraorbital foramen, being careful to avoid both the supra­trochlear and supraorbital neurovascular bundles [10]. Dissection is made down to the frontal bone and the periosteum is elevated to expose the thin inferior wall of the frontal sinus [10]. A trephine is made using a 3mm cutting burr (Fig.35.5a). Correct placement of the trephine can be con­rmed by suctioning with a 20mL syringe (par­tially lled with saline) or, if possible, by direct inspection through the trephine with an endo­scope [22]. Pus is sent for microbiological analy­sis and the sinus is irrigated with normal saline.

aspect of the eyebrow [19]. Care must be taken to avoid the supraorbital bundle located along the supraorbital rim approximately 22–24 mm from the facial midline and 26–28mm from the tempo­ral crest of the frontal bone [23]. An anterior­posterior depth of at least 7 mm is essential to

avoid transgression into the anterior cranial fossa [19]. Inltration is performed with 2% Lidocaine
in 1:80,000 adrenaline and a full-thickness stab The Medtronic mini-trephination set (Medtronic ENT, Jacksonville, FL) has become popular in recent years as it contains all instruments (Fig.35.6a) required to perform a quick and safe frontal trephination with a good postoperative cosmetic result. The mini-trephine is usually per­formed electively in combination with endo­scopic sinus surgery to help conrm the correct opening of the frontal recess in patients with severe oedema or with a narrowed recess compli­cated by additional frontoethmoidal cells (par­ticularly Type 3 or Type 4 cells) [20]. The mini-trephine also facilitates ushing of fungal debris, mucus and eosinophilic mucin from the lateral limits of the frontal sinus [20].
The optimum external entry point is reported
as 10 mm from the midline within the medial
incision is made down to the bone (scalpel with
size 15 blade). Iris scissors can be used to divide
tissue layers to help facilitate placement of the
drill guide directly onto the bone. The drill is
placed within the drill guide (Fig.35.6b, c), and
using irrigation, the anterior table is carefully
drilled using short pulses until the frontal sinus is
breached [20]. Replacing the drill with the guide-
wire, the frontal cannula is fed over the wire into
the trephine and secured with careful rotations
until ush with the skin (Fig.35.6d, e). Using a
5–10mL syringe, partially lled with saline, cor-
rect placement of the trephine is conrmed with
aspiration of either air bubbles, pus or blood
(Fig.35.6f). Aspiration of clear uid may indicate
CSF and possible transgression of the posterior
table [20]. To help conrm the true frontal drain-

age pathway, uorescein dye (0.5mL of 5% uo­rescein in 500 mL of saline) can be instilled through the frontal cannula whilst observing the recess endoscopically from below [20]. At the end of the procedure, the cannula is gently removed from the trephine site and pressure is placed on the incision for 5min. These small incisions are not routinely sutured but covered with a simple plaster or steri-strip and generally heal very well.
Tips
Initial ushing of the frontal sinus must be
performed slowly with direct observation of the ipsilateral eye and immediately halted in the presence of any orbital swelling or propto­sis [20].
In the presence of a posterior table or supe-
rior orbital rim/lamina papyracea dehiscence, no pressure should be applied when instilling saline or uorescein dye through the frontal trephine [20].
To reduce postoperative restenosis of the fron-
tal recess, corticosteroid cream can be instilled through the frontal cannula before removal at the end of the procedure [20].
If clinically required, the frontal cannula can
remain in situ postoperatively for up to 5days to facilitate regular frontal sinus saline ushes or instillation with corticosteroid or decon­gestant drops [20].
External Frontoethmoidal Surgery
Initially, radical surgery was thought to be the answer for chronic frontal sinus disease, and it was Kuhnt (1895) and Riedel (1898) who rst described fully excising both the anterior wall and sinus oor [24]. However, this left patients with unsightly facial disgurement, and despite modications by Killian (1903) to improve cos­mesis, these procedures were largely abandoned for more conservative techniques [24]. The fron­tal osteoplastic ap was rst described by Schonborn in 1894, but due to the lack of radiol­ogy and concern over re-approximation of bone aps, it was not commonly performed until the
1950s when Macbeth (1954) re-described the
technique with modern concepts [25], and
Goodale and Montgomery (1957) demonstrated
high success rates with low levels of restenosis
[26]. The procedure provided the option of oblit-
erating the frontal sinus with fat and became very
popular until the introduction of endoscopic sinus
surgery. Allowing comprehensive access to all
areas of the frontal sinus, the osteoplastic ap
remains one of the few external frontal proce-
dures still in use today.
Frontal Osteoplastic Flap Withor
Without Frontal Sinus Obliteration
The frontal osteoplastic ap is generally consid-
ered an endpoint procedure in frontal sinus sur-
gery performed in cases where endoscopic sinus
surgery either has failed or is not appropriate.
The possible indications are listed in Table 35.1
[2]. Removing the anterior table allows access to
all areas of the frontal sinus and provides the
option of obliteration if required [18, 22, 27].

the pre-auricular fold, taking care to avoid dam-
aging the supercial temporal artery and frontal In the past, a frontal sinus template was made either from a Caldwell radiograph or from using transillumination. More recently, CT-image guidance has been demonstrated to be more accurate, faster and safer than the original tech­niques [28]. Bilateral tarsorrhaphy sutures are performed to protect the eyes [26]. After inl­tration with 2% Lidocaine in 1:80,000 adrena­line, a bicoronal incision is performed starting in the midline, following the hairline down to
branch of the facial nerve [26]. The bicoronal
ap is raised anteriorly in the subgaleal plane.
An incision is made 2cm posterior to the supra-
orbital and supratrochlear neurovascular bun-
dles, and the dissection continues anteriorly in a
subperiosteal plane, raising a pericranial ap
whilst exposing the entire frontal sinus
(Fig.35.7a, b) [22]. The frontal sinus is marked
out using either the template or CT-image guid-
ance (Fig.35.7c), and the anterior wall is excised

using a high-speed ssure burr. The ssure burr is preferred over a drill as this reduced the gap left between the ap and bone (Fig.35.7d) [10,
22, 26]. However, a small oscillating saw is also
useful for minimising bone loss and bevelling the bone for later ap replacement. The intersi-
nus septum is fractured with an osteotome to
release the bone ap (Fig. 35.8a, b), which is
removed and placed in sterile saline [22]. The
frontal sinus pathology is managed as planned.
If obliteration is planned, all mucosa is removed
from the sinus and bone ap and burred with a

diamond drill. The frontal recess is plugged with the bone, temporalis muscle or fascia and the sinus obliterated with abdominal fat [22,
26]. However, the modern approach is to com-
bine the osteoplastic ap with a Draf type III midline frontal sinusotomy, which allows endo­scopic postoperative inspection. Obliteration is best avoided, if possible, to prevent the risk of burying mucosa or disease [26].
The bone ap is replaced and secured with titanium plates (Fig.35.8c). The bicoronal ap is replaced and closed in layers with a drain left in place for 24–48h (Fig.35.8d). The tarsorrhaphy sutures are removed and a compression dressing applied for 48–72h.
Managing Disease intheSmall Frontal Sinus
With advancements in image guidance, the size of the frontal sinus has become less important than the pneumatisation and pathology of the frontal recess, which will both determine whether an adjunctive external approach is required.
Tips
A midbrow, lateral brow or gull-wing incision
can be used in unilateral cases, but often
results in poorer cosmesis, and the risk of
supraorbital nerve damage is higher.
Pre-drilling the screw holes for securing the
titanium plates before removal of the anterior
table will help to provide landmarks for re-
approximation of the bone ap and increase
the ease of xation at the end of the
procedure.
A pericranial ap can be raised if cranialisa-
tion is planned.
Riedel’s procedure, the removal of the ante-
rior table of the frontal sinus, may be required
in cases of recalcitrant frontal sinusitis/
osteomyelitis.
Cranialisation, the removal of the posterior
frontal sinus table, is generally performed by
neurosurgical colleagues in complex posterior
table fractures.

Lateral Rhinotomy, Midfacial Degloving andCraniofacial Resections
The lateral rhinotomy approach was traditionally used to access tumours of the middle meatus, maxillary and ethmoid sinuses. However, both the surgical access and postoperative cosmesis were poor, leaving patients with scars running from the medial canthus along the lateral aspect of the nose to the alar crease and sometimes through the lip (Fig.35.9) [29]. Today, the lateral rhinotomy is used more often as part of more extended procedures to access and remove aggressive malignant tumours of the maxillary sinus [29]. In comparison, the midfacial deglov­ing approach was traditionally used for tumours of the central anterior skull bases, such as juve­nile angiobromas, but in recent times, this pro­cedure has been largely superseded by endoscopic sinus surgery [29]. Malignant tumours of the frontoethmoidal sinuses can also be accessed via an endoscopic or open craniofacial resection, but these procedures are beyond the scope of this text.
Conclusion
With huge advancements in endoscopic sinus surgery, open approaches to the paranasal sinuses have largely been abandoned. However, sinus anatomy and pathology can be very complex and occasionally beyond the capability of endoscopic

sinus surgery alone. In specic cases, the use of open-approach techniques (particularly the fron­tal osteoplastic ap), alone or in combination with endoscopic surgery, may be essential for a safer procedure and better outcome. It is there­fore essential for the rhinologist to be familiar with these techniques in order to achieve the best surgical outcomes for their patients.
Key Learning Points
• Open approaches should be familiar to those
involved with both emergency and elective
surgical practices.
• There are no didactic rules as to when an open
approach may be required; it is dependent on
the individual patient’s anatomy, the patho-
logical process and the skillset of the
surgeon.
• Pathologies of the frontal sinus, particularly
neoplastic, may require an open approach for
complete removal. The treating surgeon
should refer to a tertiary centre if unfamiliar
with these procedures.
