Imaging Review
A decision to pursue revision frontal sinus surgery is often associated with the per­sistence or recurrence of CRS symptoms. Updated computed tomography (CT) imaging is indicated for revision surgery planning. Imaging review for revision frontal sinus surgery should determine the following features [19]:
– Nature and extent of previous surgery. – Patency of the drainage pathway. – If frontal outow is occluded, determine if the occlusion is related to soft tissue,
bone, or both.
– Presence of residual structures narrowing the frontal recess, with specic atten-
tion to a lateralized middle turbinate, residual frontoethmoidal cells, and remnant
uncinate tissue.
– AP dimension of the frontal ostium. – Integrity of the skull base or orbital roof and medial wall. – Degree of opacication of the frontal sinus. – Any expansile features to raise concern for underlying mucocele.

Magnetic resonance imaging may play a complementary role with its superior soft tissue characterization and should be employed in cases of suspected intracra­nial complications of rhinosinusitis or concern for neoplasm [19]. The radiographic features can help determine the most suitable approach and extent of revision surgery.
Determining Extent ofRevision Surgery
The extent of surgery and choice of technique remain subjects of healthy debate within the rhinologic community. Decision-making involves determining what approach will provide an adequate neo-ostium size to facilitate delivery of topical medications while minimizing risks and convalescence for the patient.
The Draf IIa procedure may be considered for primary and revision frontal sur­gery for CRS, frontal mucoceles, acute frontal sinusitis, frontal barotrauma, and recurrent acute frontal sinusitis. Askar, etal. reviewed 48 patients undergoing revi­sion Draf IIa frontal sinusotomy for CRS, nding a 92.4% ostial patency rate at 6months, suggesting that most patients with refractory frontal sinus disease can be managed with such an approach [20]. An extended Draf IIa with removal of part of the nasal beak may also be considered as described by the EFSS classication. This allows for a wider ostium, more direct access using 0-degree scope to the frontal recess, improved ease of debridement, and improved ability to instrument high up within the frontal sinus.
The Draf IIb procedure is typically considered for revision surgery for CRS, particularly in setting of a lateralized middle turbinate or its remnant, mucocele, osteoneogenesis, frontal neoplasm, or for endoscopic repair of posterior table cere­brospinal uid leak or meningoencephalocele. In a series of 18 patients undergoing Draf IIb, 13 were revision and long-term patency was achieved in 91% of patients [18]. In a separate series of 21 patients, all had patent neo-ostium at 15.7months and no complications were noted except hyposmia that was reported in 14.3% of patients [21]. Comparing outcomes to the Draf III approach, similar patency and long-term symptom outcomes were noted, but Draf III patients were found to require more frequent ofce visits and debridement as well as antibiotics compared to Draf IIa patients.
There are trade-offs when comparing less aggressive to more aggressive approaches. A less aggressive approach such as a Draf IIa may minimize risks of complications but could also result in an inadequate opening to control frontal sinus disease. Conversely, a more aggressive approach such as the Draf IIB may provide a larger ostium, but may be associated with increased risk of complications (e.g., cerebrospinal uid leak secondary to middle turbinate resection and hyposmia). Ultimately, an individualized approach with consideration of the severity of disease, local anatomy, procedure risks, patient health, and patient preference should be undertaken to identify a suitable approach.

Surgical Technique

Draf IIA
The approach to Draf IIA is dictated by the extent of prior surgery and remnant bony and soft tissue obstruction. A complete and thorough ethmoidectomy with removal of any remnant frontoethmoidal cells, lateralized middle turbinate tissue, or remnant uncinate tissue that may narrow the drainage pathway is crucial. Preservation of mucosa is paramount to minimize risk of cicatrization. The steps are as follows:
1. Perform a complete ethmoidectomy, delineating the medial orbital wall and the
mid/posterior ethmoid skull base.
2. Identify the skull base just posterior to the frontal recess and frontoethmoidal
cells (i.e., just behind bulla and suprabulla cells).
3. Probe and identify the natural drainage pathway if intact, resecting partitions
including frontoethmoidal cells and any remnant uncinate process.
4. Using angled scopes and instrumentation, meticulously dissect any cells extend-
ing to and above the frontal ostium, including supra agger/supra agger frontal cells and suprabullar/suprabullar frontal cells.
5. Widen the frontal outow tract from the nasal beak anteriorly to the ethmoid roof
posteriorly, to the medial orbital wall laterally, and to the middle turbinate medially.
Extended Draf IIA withRemoval ofNasal Beak (Video 7.1)
In settings of osteitis, narrow anatomy, or frontoethmoidal cells extending above the frontal ostium, and extended Draf IIa with removal of part of the nasal beak aids in achieving a wider frontal sinus access and visualization. This technique involves creating a mucosal ap, drilling the nasal beak between the middle turbinate attach­ment and medial orbital wall, and widening of the frontal sinusotomy. The steps are as follows:
1. Perform a Draf IIa as described above.
2. Create an inferiorly based lateral nasal wall mucosal ap with three mucosal
incision (Video 7.1).
3. Elevate the mucosal ap and reect it inferiorly.
4. Drill the bone overlying the frontal process of the maxilla, resecting the axilla
and nasal beak while skeletonizing the periosteum overlying the medial orbital wall.
5. Continue dissection with a Kerrison, curette, or further drilling to widen the
frontal outow tract.

6. Redrape the inferiorly based ap to cover the lateral nasal wall and promote
re-mucosalization.
7. Place a Merocel pack or other packing material in the middle meatus to stabilize
the ap and stent the middle meatus, minimizing the risk of middle turbinate lateralization.
Draf IIB (Video 7.2)
The Draf IIB involves completion of the Draf IIa followed by resection of the ante­rior attachment of the middle turbinate with medial extension of the frontal sinus­otomy to the nasal septum. The steps are as follows:
1. Perform a Draf IIa as described above.
2. Verify the anticipated location of the middle turbinate resection using CT
navigation.
3. Conduct a targeted and controlled middle turbinate resection using through-
cutting instruments, resecting the anterior portion of the middle turbinate to the level of the cribriform plate.
4. Extend the frontal sinusotomy medially to the nasal septum by resecting the
frontal sinus oor anterior to the cribriform. Consider use a combination of ron­geurs, through-cutting instruments, and a diamond burr as needed.
Postoperative nasal endoscopies for the three approaches can be visualized in Fig.7.2.

Adjunctive Techniques andReported Outcomes
Trephine and external techniques: In the last century, endoscopic techniques have become standard of care for most frontal sinus procedures. Despite this shift in practice, open approaches still retain utility in appropriate clinical circumstances and may be considered as part of a sinus surgeon’s armamentarium, particularly in revision frontal sinus operations.
Indications for external approaches include specic instances of frontal sinus trauma, CSF leaks, complicated rhinosinusitis, mucoceles with orbital involvement, and tumors. Perhaps the most commonly employed external frontal procedure is the trephine. The trephine’s initial indication was treatment of acute complicated frontal sinusitis (i.e., Pott’s puffy tumor). However, indications have expanded and it is commonly used as an adjunct to endoscopic frontal approaches to identify the fron­tal outow tract or access regions high within the frontal sinus (e.g., cells extending high above the frontal ostium). In acutely inamed, infected, or highly recalcitrant cases, placement of a small cannula may be performed to deliver topical medica­tions directly to the sinus and outow tract.
Most providers prefer to perform the trephination under general anesthesia with patient supine. Important anatomic landmarks to identify include the superior orbital rim and supraorbital notch as the trephine will always be medial to the notch. Incision location should be at the inferomedial quadrant at the apex of the frontal bossing anterior projection of the sinus. Computerized image guidance can assist in conrming appropriate incision placement. Once the incision is marked, local anes­thetic is inltrated in this region and an approximately 1.5cm incision is made tak­ing care to avoid injury to the supraorbital bundle. The soft tissue and periosteum is incised and a freer or similar elevator is used to elevate the periosteum circumferen­tially. Hemostasis can be achieved using cautery, dissolvable hemostatic agents, and pledgets as needed. Conrmation of the trephination site can be performed through­out the procedure as needed using image guidance. A high speed 3–4mm drill can be used to drill away anterior table [22]. Before entering the mucosa (and encoun­tering further bleeding), further surrounding bone can frequently be removed with a Kerrison as needed. Lastly, the mucosa is incised and entered completing the trephination.
Outcomes within the published literature are favorable. Crozier used trephines for repair of frontal sinus CSF leak and found no recurrences with follow-up period of 37months [23, 24]. A separate study found excellent frontal outow patency in 86% of patients with 16months of follow-up who underwent a combined above and below approach for complex frontal sinus indications [25].
Other external techniques include frontal sinusotomy with osteoplastic ap, external frontoethmoidectomy, frontal sinus obliteration, and cranialization. While endoscopic approaches have become the mainstay for most frontal sinus proce­dures, external techniques including the trephine retain a crucial role despite the higher burden of immediate and long-term postoperative complications and sequela. External procedures may be considered for frontal sinus neoplasms, fractures,

cerebrospinal uid leaks, or in cases of recalcitrant inammatory sinus disease that are not adequately addressed by prior endoscopic procedures or where disease is far lateral and inaccessible through endoscopic approach.
Stents: Early literature regarding stenting focused on non-dissolvable materials such as silastic sheeting/tubing. More recent innovation has introduced dissolvable drug eluting stents. A recent review evaluating steroid-eluting implants analyzed six prospective randomized clinical trials and demonstrated that the implants can improve postoperative results following ESS with reduction in recurrence of nasal polyp and decrease the need for additional surgery. These results suggest that implants could be used as a substitute for the benecial effect of systemic steroid use. A limitation is the long-term results and impact of steroid eluting stents. Additionally, there is concern whether these interventions are cost effective [26]. While these interventions hold promise, further high-level studies with longer fol­low-up are needed.
Tips and Pearls
• Detailed review of preoperative imaging will help inform the appropriate frontal
sinus procedure.
• An individualized, patient-centered approach with consideration of the severity
of disease, local anatomy, procedure risks, patient health, and patient preference
should be undertaken to identify the most suitable frontal sinus approach.
• Meticulous and thorough dissection to maximize frontal recess dimensions while
preserving mucosa within the frontal recess is important in optimizing patency
and minimizing risk of restenosis.
• Use of angled scopes and angled instrumentation can improve visualization and
access of cells pneumatizing high within the frontal sinus.
• Draf IIa is suitable for most recalcitrant chronic frontal sinusitis cases. Extended
Draf IIa with removal of the nasal beak and Draf IIb may improve access through
a wider frontal drainage pathway and should be considered in appropriate clini-
cal circumstances.
• Ideally, the postoperative ostia size should measure 4.5–5mm to maintain long-
term patency.
• Treatment adjuncts, including frontal trephination, use of dissolvable drug-
eluting stents, and postoperative debridement, can aid in maintaining frontal out-
ow patency.

Key Points
• The Draf I-III can provide adequate access to the frontal sinuses, but modica-
tions can be made to accommodate the surgical needs of the individual patient.
• The modied hemi-Lothrop procedure (Eloy IIC) involves an ipsilateral Draf
IIB and an anterosuperior septectomy window for access to the lateral recess of the ipsilateral frontal sinus via the contralateral nasal cavity.
• The modied mini-Lothrop procedure (Eloy IID) involves a contralateral Draf
IIB and a frontal intersinus septectomy. This allows drainage of an ipsilaterally obstructed frontal sinus through the intersinus septectomy window and eventu­ally through the contralateral frontal sinus oor opening.
• The modied subtotal-Lothrop procedure (Eloy IIE) involves an ipsilateral Draf
IIB with a superior septectomy and frontal intersinus septectomy. The contralat­eral frontal sinus recess is preserved in this technique.

Background

The frontal sinus has proven to be anatomically challenging, both with respect to surgical access and management of chronic and recurrent disease. There exist numerous anatomic variations between patients and even between sides in the same patient [1]. Treatments for frontal sinus disease range from conservative medical management to more aggressive open surgical procedures. Advances in frontal sinus surgery have allowed for movement away from the more invasive and poten­tially disguring open approaches to less aggressive, endonasal endoscopic approaches.
The Lothrop procedure, rst described in 1914, consisted of an intranasal eth­moidectomy followed by an external Lynch-type approach with resection of the medial frontal sinus oor, superior nasal septum, and intersinus septum, which cre­ated a large frontonasal communication. The micro-endoscopic and endoscopic modications to Lothrop’s original technique have been described in the literature, notably by Draf [2], Gross, etal. [3], and Close, etal. [4] These authors have detailed an endonasal approach similar in concept to Lothrop that also involves creating a large common drainage pathway between the paired frontal sinuses. In the last decade, further modications to the procedure have been developed to reduce inva­siveness and preserve the natural architecture of the frontal sinus. This has led to the description of the modied hemi-Lothrop procedure [58], the modied mini­Lothrop procedure [9, 10], and the modied subtotal-Lothrop procedure by the senior author [11, 12].
Current and common methods of classication for endonasal frontal sinus drain­age techniques include the Draf and nasofrontal approaches [13]. In the last decade, modications of endonasal frontal sinus techniques have been developed, but are
