Frontal sinus osteoplasty and fat packing

The surgery was first reported by Schonborn (1894) and Breiger (1895). They turned the frontal sinus bone flap up and used the transplanted fat to occlude the sinus cavity, which was called frontal sinus osteoplasty. Treatment of diseases: chronic frontal sinusitis Indication 1, chronic frontal sinusitis repeated attacks, long-term treatment is not cured. 2. Chronic frontal sinusitis has formed a pupil in the anterior wall. 3, nose or frontal sinus surgery or Lynch surgery failed. 4, frontal sinus cyst, osteoma or anterior wall fracture. Contraindications 1, multiple sinusitis, should first treat other sinus diseases. 2, if the lesion is found to invade the posterior wall of the frontal sinus, and the mucosa of the lesion has adhesion to the dura mater, it is not suitable for fat filling. Preoperative preparation Antibiotics are routinely used before surgery.
