Conchopexy of middle turbinate in endoscopic sinus surgery
Abd-ElNasser Mohamed Yousef Elkabani;
Abstract
A prospective randomized controlled study was performed to assess
the role of simple conchopexy suture in maintaining a widely patent middle meatus during the phase of post- operative healing and effect of it on olfaction as compared to FESS with bolgerization of middle Turbinate (MT) and without MT medialization. All the operations were performed by the same surgon at the same institution.The operations have been performed in39 patients of chronic rhinosinusitis(CRS) divided into 13 with MT medialization suturing method, 13 with MT medialization bolger and 13 without MT medialization in ESS. With the technique of suture stabilization of the MT in 26 operated-on sides of 13 patients,26 sides showed the middle meatus to be patent without synechia or maxillary sinus ostium obstruction postoperatively.These patients showed no change or improved in sensation of smell by subjective analysis. The difference was insignificant (p=0.4)by objective analysis.
