Cinch suture: Does it work?
Flaring of the nostrils is a common side-effect of a maxillary osteotomy. At times flaring is minimal or of no significance. In some instances, it can be a significant postoperative concern to the patient, even to the extent of declining...
Incidental findings in paranasal sinus Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) studies
Incidental findings in the paranasal sinuses of mucosal thickening and polyps in MRI studies may cause concerns for clinicians and patients. The authors studied MRIs of 982 participants with a mean age of 58.5 years who randomly and independent of...
Cadaveric variation of nasolacrimal duct lateral nasal wall landmarks
Twenty mid-sagittal head sections of 10 fresh frozen cadavers were studied after removal of the nasal septum. This study showed that the most anterior projection of the middle turbinate head was noted to be anterior to the nasolacrimal duct in...
Potential benefits of turbinate sparing medial maxillectomy
Whilst endoscopic medial maxillectomy (EMM) has good results as the standard treatment option for tumours arising in the maxillary sinus, postoperative problems of crusting, epiphora and paraesthesia are not uncommon. This paper looks at modified EMM aimed at sparing the...
Not as rare as we think? Silent sinus syndrome incidence on CT heads
It is relatively uncommon to come across a case of silent sinus syndrome (SSS), but not as rare as the prevalence in the literature might suggest – the authors of this study note that only 100 cases are reported in...
Relapse after bi-maxillary surgery in a class III malocclusion
This study analysed 90 patients who underwent a bi-maxillary osteotomy for a class III malocclusion. There were 30 in each of three groups of patients based upon the Frankfort mandibular plane angle (FMA). They were divided into: greater than 32°,...
More aggressive FESS for recalcitrant CRS is the key
This is an interesting paper assessing the effectiveness of endoscopic modified medial maxillectomy (MMM) in cases of recalcitrant chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), (the technique was also used for tumours, cystic fibrosis, FB, odontogenic disease and AFS) in 551 patients. The technique...
Put the maxilla in the right place
This is a paper from Singapore where they attempted to validate the position of the maxilla in the sagittal plane against several reference lines arising from the position of the forehead in orthognathic surgery. The position of the maxilla was...
IIb nodes in a node-negative neck
This is an 11-year retrospective study of 389 patients who underwent 527 supraomohyoid neck dissections in a clinically node-negative (cN0) neck between November 2012 and November 2023. Oropharyngeal, maxillary, gingival and maxillary sinus tumours, along with those with a location...
