Abstract
- In frontal sinus surgery, stenosis of the frontal sinus opening after surgery remains a challenge for many surgeons. Different surgical approaches such as Lynch procedure, Draf type II, and extended modified Lothrop procedure may decrease adverse surgical results but also accompany inherent complications. The use of various kinds of stents have been also suggested to prolong the patency of the frontal sinus opening. However, no definite consensus has been reached about frontal stents use. Here we introduce the experience of using a new omega shaped silicon stent, which has shown promising results in keeping the frontal sinus opening patent.
