Purpose: The distance between the anterior wall of the maxillary sinus and the nasolacrimal duct has been classified into three types by Simmen, in which type I (< 3 mm) is the least feasible for a prelacrimal approach. The aim of our study is to present a surgical technique which overcomes the anatomical limitation of the narrow lacrimal recess (type I) in the management of inverted papilloma in the maxillary sinus.
Methods: Case series.
Results: Eight patients with type I lacrimal recess underwent surgical resection for inverted papilloma in the maxillary sinus via a prelacrimal approach. The technique is described in detail in the article and essentially involves exposure of the nasolacrimal duct using a diamond burr. Complete tumor excision was achieved in all cases through this access, with no significant intra-operative complications.
Conclusions: This prelacrimal approach technique is safe and effective for the management of inverted papilloma in maxillary sinuses with a type I lacrimal recess configuration.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to describe the maximum exposure of the infraorbital region via the orbital floor using the transnasal prelacrimal recess approach (PLRA), and to provide an anatomical basis for treating lesions in the infraorbital region.
Methods: Ten freshly injected frozen heads were dissected using the PLRA. The orbital floor was removed along the border of the medial infraorbital quadrangle, and the periorbita was opened to expose the infraorbital region.

The lateral recess of a well-pneumatized sphenoid sinus is challenging to access surgically. Traditional methods require the use of multiple angled endoscopes and curved instruments which may limit visualization. We describe a prelacrimal-transpterygoid/maxillary approach which offers direct access to this region with a 0° endoscope.

Maxillary sinus pathology is commonly approached through endoscopic middle meatal antrostomy (MMA). However, MMA does not provide full exposure to certain aspects of the maxillary sinus, such as alveolar, zygomatic, and prelacrimal recesses. In these hidden maxillary sinus niches, a combination approach with MMA is required for better exposure and access.

Background: The endoscopic modified medial maxillectomy (MMM) and prelacrimal approach (PLA) are two routinely performed endoscopic approaches to the maxillary sinus when access via a middle meatal antrostomy is insufficient. However, there is no data in the literature that has compared outcomes and complication profile between the two procedures to determine which approach is superior.
Objective: To compare the approach related morbidity of PLA and MMM.
