15% of surgical failures. This occurs when there is an abnormal circular ow of sinonasal secretions between the natural ostium and a secondary surgically created opening [6, 9]. This can readily be addressed with an ofce-based procedure by removing any residual uncinate process and connecting the two ostia to create one large maxillary antrostomy [10]. If the previously placed antrostomy is inferior, it may be necessary to create a mega antrostomy, extending the sinusotomy through the inferior turbinate. Through-cutting instruments are used to remove the strut of bone and mucosa separating the natural and secondary ostia (Fig.13.2).
When stenosis of the antrostomy exists, a ball tip probe can be used to identify the ostium and enlarge it using through-cutting and back-biting instruments. A microdebrider can be used to remove any residual inammatory or polypoid dis­ease. Care should be taken to avoid injury to the lacrimal duct and orbit. After completion, the ostium should be shaped in the form of a teardrop or pear. An angled

endoscope is used to conrm completion of the antrostomy and may be particularly useful to verify that the natural ostium is included in the antrostomy to avoid future issues with maxillary recirculation. When addressing a mucocele, it is important to marsupialize the entire structure after draining the contents to prevent recurrence.
Balloon dilation can alternatively be used to enlarge the natural ostium in order to facilitate drainage. Purulence or debris within the sinus can be cleared using high pressure large volume irrigation by connecting a luer-lock syringe to a curved max­illary sinus suction. This technique is especially useful to clear fungal balls or aller­gic fungal mucin. Culture and pathology can be sent when indicated.
Ethmoid Sinus Disease
The role of ofce-based procedures to address the ethmoid sinuses is limited. For patients who have had prior ethmoidectomies, a microdebrider can be used to remove recurrent polypoid disease. When removing polypoid disease within the ethmoids, great care must be taken not to injure the orbit or anterior and posterior ethmoid arteries. If residual ethmoid partitions are noted, the microdebrider, through-cutting instruments, or rongeurs can be used to cut the bone, taking care to minimize removal of surrounding mucosa. The performance of a total ethmoidec­tomy with removal of all bony partitions can occasionally be performed in the ofce if needed. This will require sequential repeat administration of topical and local anesthetic as the procedure progresses posteriorly. Patients who have signicant residual ethmoid partitions may be better served by having surgery in the operat­ing room.

Frontal Sinus Disease
Despite its challenging and narrow drainage pathway, certain frontal sinus issues can be addressed in the ofce. The most common indication is to address postopera­tive scarring and stenosis of the frontal sinus outow tract, which is the cause of surgical failure in 25% of cases [6]. Alternative indications include recurrent frontal sinus disease or mucocele formation. Angled telescopes, 30°, 45°, or 70°, depend­ing on the patient’s anatomy, are essential for frontal sinus work and the use of image navigation can be a helpful adjunct. Any mucosal disease or residual ethmoid partitions narrowing the drainage pathway can be removed with through-cutting instruments or microdebrider (Fig.13.3). Care must be taken to avoid injury to the posterior table of the frontal sinus and the anterior ethmoid artery. Patients who require additional drilling or extended Lothrop procedures should be taken to the operating room. In the immediate postoperative period, frontal sinus instruments may be used to gently debride material from the outow tract to restore patency and prevent further scarring. Frontal sinus balloon dilation is a useful adjunct that can also be used with or without surgical navigation, or with transillumination.
After enlarging the frontal sinus outow tract, high pressure irrigation delivered via a curved frontal sinus suction can be used to clear any residual debris. Once the outow tract is sufciently enlarged, a steroid eluting stent may be placed to prevent recurrent stenosis [11].
Sphenoid Sinus Disease
Because of its posterior location and proximity to critical neurovascular structures, the sphenoid sinus is more challenging under local anesthesia, but the straight access from the nasal cavity makes it accessible. Certain sphenoid sinus lesions can
140
D. B. Spielman and J. M. DelGaudio
be addressed with an ofce-based procedure, especially in patients who have under­gone prior ESS.Indications include recurrent polyposis, isolated sphenoid sinus opacication, mucocele, and fungus ball. Lesions with bony dehiscence of the lat­eral or posterior sphenoid walls can still be safely performed in the ofce, but if the surgeon is uncomfortable due to the potential involvement of critical neurovascular structures, they should be performed in the operating room.
The sphenoid sinus may be accessed via two routes: trans-nasally (medial to the middle and superior turbinates) or trans-ethmoidally (lateral to the middle turbinate through the posterior ethmoids). In patients who have not previously undergone ESS with total ethmoidectomy, the trans-ethmoid approach would require a total or posterior ethmoidectomy rst, which is more difcult to perform in-ofce. The trans-nasal approach can be utilized by lateralizing the middle and superior turbi­nates to nd the sphenoid ostium 1.5cm superior to the choana. Placing additional pledgets to decongest this area signicantly improves exposure and visualization. The inferior 1/third of the superior turbinate can be trimmed with straight through­cut forceps to improve visualization of the ostium, although the senior author pre­fers to preserve the entire superior turbinate. A Freer or Cottle elevator is used to gently palpate and enlarge the sphenoid ostium, followed by a sphenoid punch to remove the anterior face of the sphenoid. The sphenoidotomy can be extended through the posterior ethmoid sinuses to the lateral face of the sphenoid while pre­serving the superior turbinate, termed the Superior Turbinate Straddling Sphenoidotomy [12].
In the ofce setting, one should avoid the posterior septal branch of the spheno­palatine artery running inferiorly along the anterior face of the sphenoid in order to prevent bleeding. If performing an in-ofce sphenoidotomy, it is important to have the means to perform cauterization of this vessel readily available. Debris or polyps within the sinus can be removed by suction, forceps, or irrigation, taking care to avoid contact or injury to the lateral sphenoid walls and surrounding structures. A microdebrider is not used beyond the face of the sphenoid sinus itself to avoid dam­age to critical neurovascular structures.
Mucocele Drainage
Mucoceles are obstructed sinus cells or cavities that expand over time, frequently causing bony erosion and exerting pressure on adjacent structures. Risk factors for development include chronic rhinosinusitis, prior surgery, facial trauma, and allergy, and idiopathic mucocele development is also common [8]. The frontal and ethmoid sinuses are the most likely to develop mucoceles, but they can occur throughout the sinonasal cavities. When accessible, the vast majority of mucoceles can success­fully be drained in the ofce [13]. Obtaining cross-sectional imaging preoperatively is important for diagnosis and to identify any bony dehiscences of surrounding neu­rovascular structures. Surgically, the goal is to create as large of a drainage pathway as safely possible and to marsupialize the entire lesion to minimize the risk of recurrence.

The frontal sinus is most frequently affected by mucocele formation and may be the most challenging to address. When there is anterior and inferior extension into the ethmoid cavity, these lesions are more easily accessed in the ofce under local anesthesia. The presence of posterior table or orbital roof erosion must be noted, although they are not necessarily contraindications to an ofce-based procedure.
Although less common, maxillary sinus mucoceles are easily drained in the ofce setting, even in patients who have not had prior sinus surgery. It is important to differentiate maxillary sinus mucoceles from mucus retention cysts, which are incidentally found and rarely expand or cause symptoms. Medial expansion of mucoceles into the nasal cavity often thins the medial wall of the maxillary sinus, making entry into the sinus easier than usual via the inferior meatus. If this modality is employed, it is important to connect the antrostomy with the natural ostium or keep it sufciently far away to decrease the risk of mucus recirculation. If signi­cant medial expansion has not occurred, a traditional maxillary antrostomy via the middle meatus may be performed.
Ethmoid mucoceles can be addressed in the ofce setting when they are suf­ciently anterior or if the patient has undergone prior surgery, allowing access to the posterior ethmoid cavity. Ethmoid mucoceles frequently thin the bone of the adja­cent orbit or skull base, thus careful review of preoperative imaging is essential.
Sphenoid sinus mucoceles are the least common, but may be addressed with an ofce-based procedure, especially if the patient has undergone prior surgery. The trans-nasal or trans-ethmoid approaches to the sphenoid sinus can be employed, as discussed above.
Balloon Sinus Dilation
Balloon sinus dilation is a useful tool when performing ofce-based procedures for the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis. We will cover some aspects of balloon dila­tion in this section, but more details regarding balloon sinuplasty are available in Chap. 12 of this text. The minimally invasive nature of balloon dilation as compared with traditional ESS makes it well tolerated under local anesthesia. Balloon dilation systems can be used to enlarge the ostia of the maxillary, sphenoid, and frontal sinuses, but cannot directly address the ethmoid sinus.
Data regarding the use of balloon dilation demonstrates signicant quality of life improvements in patients with CRS, although the majority of patients studied had relatively mild disease with a mean preoperative Lund-Mackay score of 7.7, com­pared with an average of 13 for all-comers undergoing treatment for CRS [14]. The Clinical Consensus Statement on sinus balloon dilation released by the American Academy of Otolaryngology—Head and Neck Surgery Foundation states that bal­loon dilation can improve quality of life in patients with limited CRS without nasal polyps. However, there was consensus that it should not be used in the absence of a preoperative CT scan demonstrating ndings consistent with sinusitis [15]. There is no role for balloon dilation in patients who do not meet the formal diagnostic crite­ria for CRS or recurrent acute sinusitis.

Understanding the appropriate indications for balloon sinus dilation makes it a valuable tool for ofce-based surgery. Patients with nasal polyps or extensive dis­ease, especially involving the ethmoid sinuses, are more likely to benet from tradi­tional ESS. Patients with relatively mild CRS without nasal polyps who have symptoms refractory to medical therapy may benet from in-ofce balloon dilation of the affected sinuses. In the senior author’s experience, balloon dilation serves a more valuable role in addressing postoperative stenosis of sinus ostia. The frontal sinus outow tract is narrow and has a propensity to stenose. In patients who develop recurrent symptoms secondary to frontal sinus stenosis, balloon dilation can be used to reestablish the drainage pathway while minimizing trauma to the surrounding mucosa. The same technique can be applied to the maxillary or sphenoid sinuses.
Under direct visualization using a rigid endoscope, the ostium is cannulated with the guidewire in an atraumatic fashion. When addressing the frontal sinus, transil­lumination or image navigation can be used to verify appropriate placement. The balloon is then advanced over the guidewire until it is located at the level of the ostium, in its most narrow location (Fig. 13.4; see video, Video 13.1). Once

appropriate placement is conrmed, the balloon is inated for several seconds according to manufacturer instructions. If the outow tract remains stenotic, the balloon can be advanced and a second dilation can be performed. Providers who utilize sinonasal balloons must understand the manufacturer and FDA regulations regarding reuse of the devices.

Outcomes

While there is extensive evidence to support the benets of ESS for patients with CRS refractory to medical therapy, there is a paucity of data isolated to ofce-based surgical procedures. Goyal and Hwang report the outcomes of 52 ofce-based pro­cedures performed by a single surgeon under local anesthesia, which were well tolerated without complication [16]. The majority of these procedures were per­formed for recurrent disease following traditional ESS for CRS.
Ofce-based revision ESS has been demonstrated to have encouraging outcomes in a pilot study of ve CF patients who previously underwent full-house ESS.All were noted to have signicant improvements in quality of life and Lund-Mackay scores [7]. Drainage of mucoceles in-ofce is well tolerated with excellent out­comes. Barrow and DelGaudio reported on the ofce-based drainage of 36 muco­celes. All were successfully accessed under local anesthesia except for one. Five patients (14%) required additional future surgery to address septated mucoceles or recurrence [13]. These results are similar to those reported for operating room drain­age of mucoceles.
Ofce-based balloon dilation has been demonstrated to improve sinonasal qual­ity of life in patients with CRS refractory to medical therapy after one-year follow­ up [1719]. While balloon sinus dilation has been associated with clinically signicant improvements in quality of life metrics, these studies lack a wide distri­bution of CRS patients or those with more severe forms of disease [14]. Proper patient selection for appropriate use of the balloon sinuplasty technique is essential, as patients with signicant sinonasal disease are likely to benet more from tradi­tional ESS.In the authors’ experience, balloon sinus dilation is most useful as an adjunct for patients with CRS who have mucosal scarring and a narrowed ostium following traditional ESS.In two pilot studies, this has been demonstrated to be a safe and effective technique following frontal sinusotomy in the operating room [20, 21].
Increasing competition to secure time in the operating room and the increased cost of operating room services makes the performance of in-ofce procedures highly palatable for both patients and physicians. Members of the rhinology com­munity have already demonstrated that they regularly perform ofce-based proce­dures. The prevalence of ofce-based endoscopic sinus surgery is likely to increase with time because it is cost effective and improves the patient experience. An emphasis should be placed on proper patient selection and safe technique.

Tips and Pearls
• Patient selection and realistic expectations are essential.
• Anxious patients with a low pain tolerance or those who require signicant bone
removal are better suited for procedures in the operating room.
• Decongestion of the nasal mucosa and delivery of both topical and injected local
anesthetic must be used.
• Ideal candidates for ofce-based procedures are those with symptomatic inam-
matory disease, but minimal residual bony septations, often after primary ESS.
• The most common indications for ofce-based surgery include recurrent nasal
polyposis, maxillary/frontal sinus ostium stenosis, mucocele, and maxillary
sinus recirculation syndrome.
• Pediatric endoscopes and instruments may allow for improved access with less
patient discomfort.
• Balloon sinus dilation and steroid eluting stents are valuable tools that can easily
be used in the ofce for patients with ostial stenosis and residual symptoms after
initial surgery.

Key Points
• Advances in endoscopic sinus surgery have allowed surgeons to apply rhinologic
procedures to the ofce setting.
• Image guidance is a useful adjunct that can be applied to patients in-ofce to
allow more thorough in-ofce dissection.

Background

The advances in endoscopic sinus technologies in the twentieth and twenty-rst centuries have allowed sinus surgeons to skillfully visualize and access all of the paranasal sinuses and generally avoid the need for open surgical sinus procedures [1]. Angled endoscopes of various sizes with large monitor video systems, a pleth­ora of instrumentation choices, powered shavers, and navigation systems that allow those instruments and shavers to be tracked throughout the surgical procedure have become customary in the operating suite [13]. As these endoscopic sinus surgery technologies advanced, several factors directed surgeons to bring sinus procedures from the operating room into the ofce, including economic drivers like lower over­all healthcare cost and direct to patient cost, ease and timeliness of procedure sched­uling, access to operating room block time, patient preference to avoid general anesthesia and recover/return to work more quickly, surgeon preference, and improved surgical efciency during and between procedures [2, 47].
