Definition – Rhinosinusitis
Mucopurulent drainage (anterior or posterior) Nasal obstruction (congestion) Facial pain-pressure fullness Decreased sense of smell

Reported Factors - Major
A group of disorders characterized by inflammation of the mucosa of the nose and paranasal sinuses
• Nasal Endoscopy– Purulence– Edema, erythema– Polyps
• CT imaging
• Allergy and immune testing

Multiple factors can impair mucociliary clearance, hindering or stopping normal drainage of the sinuses
Acute sinusitis can progress to a recurrent or chronic disease state
Although medical management is adequate for ~80-90%1 of patients; recalcitrant disease may require surgical treatment

Sinus Drainage
• Sinusitis is a medical disease until ostial restriction cannot be reversed by medical treatment
• Surgical Intervention in Disease Progression

Coronal CT Scans for Rhinosinusitis• Indicated for:
– questions of diagnosis &/or therapy– strong history & not responding to therapy– extrasinus spread of infection– in chronic RS, after 4 weeks or more of appropriate therapy– prior to sinus surgery
• Timing of CT scan– Note in acute viral URIs that 87% of sinus CTs are positive, & 21% remain so 2 weeks after clinical
resolution

What are the goals of Sinus Surgery?
1. Open blocked ostia to restore ventilation and to restore normal sinus function• Allows drainage and reversal of mucosal disease
2. Preserve as much normal anatomy and mucosa as possible• Promotes faster healing• Reduces the inflammatory response• Improves surgical outcomes
Sinus surgery has continued to evolve over time

Caldwell-Luc Antrostomy
Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS)
FESS w/ balloon catheters
1985 - 2005 2005 - Present
1. The advent of FESS in 1985 allowed for sinus surgery without traumatic trans-antral penetration or inferior antrostomies1
2. Recent advances in instrumentation enable ENT surgeons to perform FESS without traumatic bone resection or mucosal stripping Drainage via natural ostia can be restored in a minimally-invasive manner2

Caldwell-Luc Antrostomy
Intranasal Ethmoidectomy
History – Sinus surgery prior to 1985
Inferior Antrostomy
Prior to the advent of FESS, sinus surgery was highly disruptive to natural structures in the face and nasal cavity
3. Image-guided navigation
2. More precise instrumentation
1. Trans-nasal approach
Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery
1. Nasal approach reduces structural trauma2. Microdebriders enable a more targeted dissection/resection process3. Image guidance reduces uncertainty during approach to treatment site
FESS significantly reduced the invasiveness of sinus surgery, and it continues to evolve today
Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery
The paradox between the goals and the application of Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery
– First goal, to open blocked sinuses, is usually achieved at the expense of
– The second goal, the preservation of normal anatomy and mucosa.
• The flexible instruments of the balloon technology platform provide tools designed to navigate the complex paranasal anatomy and to achieve ostial dilation with minimal intervention .
• Preserving the filtering function of the nose.

Current in Office Sinus Procedures
Office procedures to understand/ influence anatomy:• Endoscopy• CT sinus• Proetz sinus displacement• Maxillary sinus tap• Office Sinuplasty/ sinus lavage• Inferior Turbinate reduction• Nasal Polypectomy
Office Sinuplasty/ Sinus Lavage
• Patient Selection and Tolerance

Access sinus cavity Dilate natural ostium Directly irrigate sinus Remove system
23
Patient Selection – Typical profiles
• Chronic maxillary, frontal, sphenoid sinusitis• Revision cases with scarring. Incomplete outflow tract
obstruction• Chronic sinusitis with need for lavage • Avoid:
– Cases with extremely complex anatomy, complete scar occlusion, etc
– Cases requiring significant ancillary procedures (e.g. turbinectomy, septoplasty)
– Patients with anxiety, claustrophobia, low pain threshold
Patient Selection
• Patient Motivation– Cash pay patients– Primary vs. Revision Cases– Anesthesia concerns
• Patient Tolerance– Dental procedure tolerance
• Patient Anatomy– Deviated Nasal Septum (3 mm)– Inferior Turbinate– Uncinate Process– Ethmoid Bulla– Nasal Polyps– Middle Turbinate: Scar bands,
Lateralized Middle Turbinate, Concha Bullosa
– Image guidance
• Patient General Health– Monitoring, Bleeding, Cardio-
pulmonary status, Cough24

Summary• In a small percentage of patients, rhinosinusitis becomes a recurrent or chronic disease which
is refractory to medical management.
• There has been an evolution of sinus procedures to improve sinus drainage in medically refractory rhinosinusitis.
• Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) has advanced the management of chronic rhinosinusitis.
• Current research is exploring the limitations of traditional rigid instrumentation in FESS.
• FESS with balloon catheters offers a minimally-invasive way to achieve classic sinus surgery goals.
• Balloon catheters and other office based procedures are now available to improve medically refractory rhinosinusitis.
