Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The terms "functional" and "radical" paranasal sinus surgery were often considered to be different operations which were mutually exclusive. This overview aims to look at the basics of these terms and surgical procedures and to work out the resulting surgical concepts for clinically relevant indications. MATERIAL AND METHODS Selective literature analysis using the data base PubMed, corresponding textbooks and resulting secondary literature regarding functional and radical or extended paranasal sinus surgery. Similarly, the current literature regarding clinically relevant indications for sinus surgery were analyzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION Modern pathophysiological knowledge, anatomically and pathophysiologically substantiated endoscopic surgical procedures and the usage of up to date technical possibilities have resulted in concepts which combine functional and so-called radical or extended surgery of the paranasal sinuses that complement each other and sometimes even overlap. The preoperative diagnosis and definition of underlying diseases are decisive and should be as precise as possible, as the extent and surgical details mainly depend on them: a sole creation of free drainage pathways, an additional creation of anatomical access for subsequent topical treatment or a complete (radical) removal of a pathological process.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the long-term efficacy of four steps of operation on the treatment of maxillary sinus (MS) inverted papilloma (IP). METHODS 83 patients who were diagnosed with IP that originated from the MS, underwent four step procedure of attachment sites, including mucosal stripping, periosteum ablation, bone drilling and bone ablation and had postoperative follow-up of 3 years were enrolled. RESULTS Of the 83 patients, 59 (71.1%) patients were primary surgery and revision surgery in 24 (28.9%), single attachment was in 31(37.3%) patients and multifocal attachments in 52 (62.7%).When the numbers were not mutually exclusive, the most common origin sites of IPs were the medial wall in 54 (37.2%), lateral wall in 29 (20.0%), anterior wall in 18 (12.4%), inferior wall in 22 (15.2%), posterior in 15 (10.3%), and superior wall in 7 (4.8%). Large MMA alone was performed in 5 (6.0%), MMA combined with medial maxillectomy 76 (91.6%), and MMA combined with Caldwell-Luc approach in 2 (2.4%). No major intra- or postoperative complications were observed. The average follow-up was 41 months (range, 37-61 months). CT and endoscope showed that tumor and symptom recurrence occurred in 2 patients (2.41%). In addition, although the opening of antrostomy was closed and CT revealed the uniform soft tissue shadow and hyperostosis of MS in 11(13.3%) patients, they didn't report any symptoms and showed well epithelization of middle meatus mucosa. CONCLUSION The four steps of operations of attachment sites of MS IP, including mucosal stripping, periosteum ablation, bone drilling and bone ablation, may effectively prevent the recurrence of MS IP.

Abstract
Purpose Nasal saline irrigation is highly recommended in patients following functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) to aid the postoperative recovery. Post-FESS patients have significantly altered anatomy leading to markedly different flow dynamics from those found in pre-op or non-diseased airways, resulting in unknown flow dynamics. Methods This work investigated how the liquid stream disperses through altered nasal cavities following surgery using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). A realistic squeeze profile was determined from physical experiments with a 27-year-old male using a squeeze bottle with load sensors. The administration technique involved a head tilt of 45-degrees forward to represent a head position over a sink. After the irrigation event that lasted 4.5 s, the simulation continued for an additional 1.5 s, with the head orientation returning to an upright position. Results The results demonstrated that a large maxillary sinus ostium on the right side allows saline penetration into this sinus. The increased volume of saline entering the maxillary sinus limits the saline volume available to the rest of the sinonasal cavity and reduces the surface coverage of the other paranasal sinuses. The average wall shear stress was higher on the right side than on the other side for two patients. The results also revealed that head position alters the sinuses’ saline residual, especially the frontal sinuses. Conclusion While greater access to sinuses is achieved through FESS surgery, patients without a nasal septum limits posterior sinus penetration due to the liquid crossing over to the contralateral cavity and exiting the nasal cavity early.

Abstract
Objective The objective of this study was to compare the long-term results of extended middle meatal antrostomy (MMA) and MMA combined with inferior meatal antrostomy (IMA, combined approach) for the treatment of fungal maxillary sinusitis (FMS).
Methods and materials A retrospective analysis including 90 patients with non-invasive FMS was treated with endoscopic extended MMA via antidromic extended medial wall (extended MMA group), or with both MMA and IMA (combined approach group). The recurrence rate, operation time, and complications were evaluated at postoperative 12 and 36 months. Results Of the 90 patients, 52 patients were in the extended MMA group and 38 patients in the combined approach group. CT revealed the thin medial wall or bone defect in 63.33% (57/90) patients. The mean operation time in the extended MMA group was significantly shorter than that of combined approach group (42.5 ± 6.5 vs 57.4 ± 4.9, P < 0.01). At postoperative 12 months postoperatively, the recurrence rate was 3.85% (2/52) in the extended MMA group and 0.0% (0/38) in the combined approach group, the difference wasn’t significant (X2 = 0.618, P > 0.05). The recurrence rate wasn’t increased during the follow-up period over time in both groups.13.5% (7/52) patients complained of cheek numbness in the extended MMA group, 60.5% (23/38) patients complained of cheek numbness and epiphora in 5.3% (2/38) patients in the combined approach group, the difference was significant (X2 test, P < 0.01). However, no major complications were observed in both groups. In addition, IMA closure was observed in 4 (10.5%) in the combined approach group at 12 months postoperatively and in 9 (23.6%) at 36 months postoperatively. Conclusions Extended MMA via antidromic extended medial wall may effectively prevent the recurrence and reduce the complications of FMS, IMA wasn’t necessary for the treatment of FMS in most cases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare recurrence rates and symptomatic relief in symptomatic maxillary sinus Retention Cysts (RCs) between Middle Meatus Antrostomy (MMA) alone and Inferior Meatus Antrostomy (IMA) with basal mucosa electrocoagulation. METHODS Patients with symptomatic unilateral maxillary RCs were randomly allocated to MMA (n=54) and IMA combined with mucosa electrocoagulation (n=53) groups. Symptomatic relief, cyst recurrence, and closure of the antrostomy opening were compared at 12-months postoperatively. RESULTS Symptomatic failure occurred in 13 (12.1%) patients, including 9 (16.7%) MMA and 4 (7.5%) IMA patients; this difference was not statistically significant (p=0.251). Postoperative cyst recurrence occurred in 16 (29.7%) and 1 (1.9%) patient in the MMA and IMA groups, respectively (p<0.0001). Closure of the opening occurred in 7 (13.0%) and 17 (32.1%) patients in the MMA and IMA groups, respectively (p=0.032). However, there were no significant pairwise correlations between closure of the opening and symptomatic failure or cyst recurrence. CONCLUSION IMA combined with basal mucosa electrocoagulation and MMA alone provided similar symptomatic relief for symptomatic maxillary RCs, but IMA had shorter operation times and lower postoperative recurrence rates of RCs.

Abstract
The Korean Society of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery and Korean Rhinologic Society appointed a guideline development group (GDG) to establish a clinical practice guideline, and the GDG developed a guideline for nasal irrigation for adult patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). The guideline focuses on knowledge gaps, practice variations, and clinical concerns associated with nasal irrigation. Nasal irrigation has been recommended as the first-line treatment for CRS in various guidelines, and its clinical effectiveness has been demonstrated through a number of studies with robust evidence. However, no guidelines have presented a consistent nasal irrigation method. Several databases, including OVID Medline, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and KoreaMed, were searched to identify all relevant papers using a predefined search strategy. When insufficient evidence was found, the GDG sought expert opinions and attempted to fill the evidence gap. Evidence-based recommendations for practice were ranked according to the American College of Physicians grading system. The committee developed 11 evidence-based recommendations. This guideline focuses on the evidence-based quality improvement opportunities deemed the most important by the GDG. Moreover, the guideline addresses whether nasal lavage helps treat CRS, what type of rinsing solution should be used, and the effectiveness of using additional medications to increase the therapeutic effect.

Abstract
Background: The management of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is evolving, with an emphasis on treating the underlying type 2 inflammation. Objective: The objective was to summarize the updated evidence-based medical and surgical treatment recommendations for CRSwNP, including the position of biologics in the treatment algorithm. Methods: This review compared and contrasted the therapeutic recommendations presented by the European Position Paper on Rhinosinusitis and Nasal Polyps 2020 and the International Consensus Statement on Allergy and Rhinology: Rhinosinusitis 2021. Results: The long-term use of intranasal corticosteroids and the short-term use of oral corticosteroids are strongly recommended, whereas corticosteroid-eluting implants are considered an option. Although the use of saline solution rinses is recommended, there is uncertainty as to whether irrigation is more effective than sprays. Oral aspirin (ASA) desensitization, followed by ASA ≥ 300 mg daily for patients with ASA-exacerbated respiratory disease may be considered. In general, the use of antifungal agents offers no benefit and potential harm. Although the use of oral antibiotics for an acute exacerbation is still debated, oral and topical antibiotics are discouraged for subacute or chronic use. Antileukotrienes are inferior to intranasal corticosteroids and are unlikely to provide added benefit when used concomitantly. It is unlikely that the benefit of oral antihistamines and decongestants outweigh the potential harm. Dupilumab is recommended for severe CRSwNP when consensus-determined criteria are met. Omalizumab may be an option with concomitant poorly controlled asthma. Mepolizumab and reslizumab may be used, particularly in patients with concomitant uncontrolled asthma. In allergic fungal rhinosinusitis, oral and topical antifungals, antileukotrienes, allergen immunotherapy, and omalizumab are therapeutic options. Although surgical intervention is recognized to be of benefit for CRSwNP, there are no evidence-based criteria to indicate when maximum medical treatment has failed. Conclusion: An evidence-based CRSwNP treatment algorithm for when to recommend surgery and/or initiate or discontinue biologics to maximize quality of life and cost-effectiveness is still lacking.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The endoscopic medial maxillectomy (EMM) has remained a relevant procedure for certain sinus diseases and at the same time reemerged as a salvage technique or even as a primary procedure for other diseases. Several mucosal-sparing techniques have also been described and the outcome of the surgeries is available for review. RECENT FINDINGS Modifications of the EMM technique in the last two decades, aimed at mucosal preservation of the inferior turbinate, nasolacrimal duct, and medial maxillary wall have been successful in addressing a multitude of diseases. There are also evidences to support adjunct procedures/methods to improve access, healing, and to address associated dysfunction such as impaired mucociliary clearance. Tailored approaches have shown favourable outcomes with a low rate of adverse effects. SUMMARY The EMM is appropriate for selected indications, in particular lesions causing medial wall destruction or extensive tumour involving the anterior wall or the prelacrimal recess. As for other maxillary sinus diseases including those identified to a limited site, a modified EMM is a reasonable consideration. The choice is appropriate provided instrument access, visualization, the ability for complete resection, postoperative care, and the requirement for surveillance is not compromised. A tailored approach with or without adjunct procedures is recommended.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this scholarly review is to present an update of the efficacy, safety, and distribution of intranasal corticosteroids (INCS) in the context of treatment for chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). MATERIALS AND METHODS A literature review from 1999 to 2020 of MEDLINE, PubMed, and EMBASE databases was performed, using a comprehensive search strategy. Studies reporting on efficacy, safety, and distribution of all INCS formulations, both Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and non-FDA approved, were reviewed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS High-level evidence publications and position papers support the role of INCS in medical treatment for CRS. Significant improvement in disease-specific and general quality of life measures is observed with all formulations of INCS. Overall, the use of both FDA and published non-FDA INCS appears to be safe. Several novel distribution devices might improve penetration to specific areas within the sinuses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND While middle antrostomy (MA) is the most common approach to the maxillary sinus (MS), it is known for not allowing to fully inspect the whole MS, especially in its inferior and anterior portions. To overcome this limitation, alternative approaches have been proposed, such as inferior antrotomy (IA) and canine fossa accesses (CFA). OBJECTIVE Given the lack of studies on the MS floor visualization with different accesses, our study aims, in a cadaver lab setting, to systematically compare three different approaches (MA, IA and CFA) in these regards. METHODS Eight cadaver heads, previously submitted to CTscan, were prepared inserting fixtures corresponding to teeth 2, 4, 6, 11, 13 and 15 and into the canine fossae. Three approaches were prepared: a wide MA, an IM and a CFA. We endoscopically evaluated, for each specimen, side, access type and scope angle (0°, 30°, 45°, and 70°), which fixtures were visible on the maxillary sinus floor and whether the canine fossa fixture was visible (MA and IA only). RESULTS IA allowed to visualize all fixtures in nearly all cases (14/16 with 70° endoscope), while MA showed poor visualization results (3/16 with 70° endoscope); CFA failed to gain full visualization in most specimens (7/16 with 70°endoscope). Such difference was statistically significant. MA proved unable to visualize the canine fossa fixture in most cases while IA showed excellent possibilities. All differences were statistically significant (p < .001, Mcnemar's test). CONCLUSIONS Our data show that the IA grants a statistically significant superior surgical field vision when compared to MA and CFA, though in vivo validation of these results is still required.

Abstract
Until the 1990s, radical sinus surgery was considered a standard procedure for maxillary sinus diseases, but it is no longer favored due to the high morbidity. Today, functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is considered the gold standard in sinus surgery. Modifications of surgical approaches also allow access to regions of the maxillary sinus that were previously difficult to reach. Depending on anatomy and pathology, different methods for widening the maxillary ostium can be selected. In type I sinusotomy, the natural ostium is widened dorsally by a maximum of 1 cm. Sinusotomy type II involves widening the natural ostium up to a maximum diameter of 2 cm. In sinusotomy type III, the natural ostium is widened dorsally to the posterior wall of the maxillary sinus and caudally to the base of the inferior turbinate. Beside the prelacrimal approach, more invasive approaches are the medial maxillectomy, in which the dorsal part of the inferior turbinate and the adjacent medial wall of the maxillary sinus is resected, as well as its modifications "mega antrostomy" and "extended maxillary antrostomy." Correct selection of the size of the maxillary sinus window is prerequisite for successful treatment and long-term postoperative success. Isolated purulent maxillary sinusitis can usually be treated by a type I sinusotomy. Sinusotomy type II addresses nasal polyps with involvement of the mucosa of the ostium, recurrent stenosis after previous surgery, chronic maxillary sinusitis due to cystic fibrosis, and purulent maxillary sinusitis with involvement of other adjacent sinuses. Sinusotomy type III is required for choanal polyps with attachment to the floor of the maxillary sinus, for extensive polyposis and fungal sinusitis, and for inverted papilloma. Particularly for (recurrent) disease and extensive interventions in the maxillary sinus, medial maxillectomy or a modification thereof may be required.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES First-line treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis includes topical corticosteroids aimed at decreasing inflammation of sinonasal mucosa. No guidelines exist regarding the effect of head position during administration of corticosteroids. We hypothesize certain positions enhance delivery to the paranasal sinuses, with further improvement in delivery after sinus surgery. METHODS A systematic review of the literature was conducted using Medline Ovid, Embase, Scopus, and Cochrane databases. All studies evaluating intranasal medications administered in 2 or more head positions were included. Study population, head position(s), method/volume of delivery, and outcome metrics were recorded. RESULTS Twenty-four studies compared head positions and their role in distribution of intranasal medication. Of 12 papers studying surgically naive subjects, 6 found improvement in delivery to specific sinonasal regions (middle meatus; lateral, superior, or posterior nasal cavity) and/or symptomatic improvement, in the lying head back (LHB) or head down and forward (HDF) positions, but only 3 reached statistical significance. Of 12 papers studying surgically altered patients, 10 found delivery improved in the HDF, LHB, and head forward 45° or 90° positions. Of 5 studies of extended frontal sinus procedures (Draf IIb/III), a majority found distribution to the frontal sinus improved with the head forward 90° position. Patients found the HDF position most uncomfortable. CONCLUSIONS Studies found no statistically significant difference in distribution to unoperated sinuses among different head positions. A minority of studies supported the use of the LHB and HDF positions. This suggests that in surgically naive patients, intranasal corticosteroid delivery to sinonasal regions and/or symptomatic improvement may be best achieved with the sinuses positioned inferior to the delivery device. Surgery improved distribution to the paranasal sinuses regardless of head position, although tilting the head forward 90° was particularly effective in delivery to the frontal sinus after extended frontal sinus procedures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nasal saline irrigation has become standard of care in various sinonasal conditions, including allergic and nonallergic rhinitis, chronic rhinosinusitis, and in the postoperative patient. Evidence regarding the mechanisms and dynamics of liquid flow through the sinonasal cavity remains limited due to inadequate experimental models (cadaveric, 3-dimensional [3D] printed, imaging of labeled dyes and radioisotopes). We aimed to develop a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of nasal irrigation to demonstrate sinonasal surface coverage, residence times across the mucosal surfaces, and shearing force of irrigation. METHODS A nasal cavity geometry derived from high-resolution paranasal sinus computed tomography (CT) scans of a healthy, unoperated, 25-year-old patient was created. CFD analysis was performed to assess the distribution of nasal irrigation from a tapered nozzle bottle at a forward head-tilt position of 45 degrees with a 2-second burst at 35 mL/second. RESULTS The model demonstrates nasal irrigation from ipsilateral to contralateral with precise measures of velocity, pressure, wall shear stress, and mapping of surface coverage and residence times at specific locations and times. The nasal cavity experiences almost complete coverage of irrigation, while overflow from the nasal cavity facilitates moderate coverage of the ipsilateral maxillary (40%) and anterior ethmoid sinuses (30%). Negligible coverage of the sphenoid and frontal sinuses was noted. CONCLUSION Detailed physical mechanisms of liquid irrigation injected from a commonly used squeeze bottle were shown. Ipsilateral maxillary and ethmoid sinus penetration are primarily due to overflow rather than direct jet entry, confirming the recommendation of larger volumes of irrigation to "flood" the sinus ostia.
