AI Article Synopsis

  • The study explores a combined surgical approach using both endoscopic transnasal and sublabial transantral methods for treating orbital lesions in patients.
  • Out of 10 patients, 8 underwent the simpler mononostril approach, while 2 required the combined method, which provided better visibility and instrument maneuverability.
  • The findings suggest the two-portal approach is effective for complex lesions and may be safer than traditional binostril methods.

Article Abstract

Introduction: The aim of this study was to present the indications for a combined endoscopic transnasal and sublabial transantral approach for the surgical treatment of orbital lesions.

Material And Methods: This case study enrolled 10 patients scheduled for endoscopic transnasal surgery for treating orbital lesions from 2009 to 2020. When the tumour was localised to the medial part of the orbit, patients underwent endoscopy with a transnasal mononostril approach. Alternatively, when the tumour was localised to the mediocaudal part of the orbit, and when instrument manoeuvreability was limited, the transnasal approach was combined with a sublabial transantral approach. Herein, we evaluate the indications, complications, and advantages of monoportal and combined two-portal approaches.

Results: 8/10 patients (80%) underwent surgery with the transnasal mononostril approach, and 2/10 (20%) underwent surgery with the combined transnasal mononostril and sublabial transantral approach. In the two latter cases, visualisation of the operation field was excellent, and there was adequate room for manipulating instruments.

Conclusions: The combined mononostril-transantral approach provided the space necessary to manoeuvre instruments and to visualise the surgical field in treating mediocaudal orbital lesions.

Clinical Implications: This two-portal approach enables extensive resections of intraconal lesions. It should be considered to be a suitable and safer alternative to the binostril approach.

Background: maxillary cysts of dental origin are not common diagnosis. There is still debate about their perfect treatment method. There are many approaches to manage the odontogenic maxillary cysts; either intraoral, sublabial, or transnasal endoscopic approach.

Choanal atresia is one of the more commonly observed congenital abnormalities of the nose. The condition is predominantly found in females with a M:F ratio of 1:2. 65-75 % of patients with choanal atresia are unilateral, and the rest are bilateral.

Objectives/hypothesis: Transantral endoscopic balloon dilatation (TABD) was recently introduced for the management of limited mild maxillary and ethmoid disease. An expanded approach by inserting surgical tools into the antrum via a second port, directed toward the maxillary ostium, ethmoid infundibulum, and posterior ethmoids will allow for the treatment of moderate disease as well.

Study Design: Retrospective data review.
