功能性上颌窦手术与上颌窦根治术的疗效比较

对显微镜下行功能性上颌窦手术，即上颌窦自然口扩大术，及传统上颌窦根治术共８９例外 颌窦疾病患者，进行术后随访。其中，行自然口扩大术３９例，传统上颌窦根治术５０匀作鼻及鼻窦内窥镜检查。结果显示，Ａ组的治愈率及造口通虫经，均较Ｂ组为高，但窦腔或窦口息肉以Ａ组发生率为高。表明前者疗效较后者更具优势，但亦有其不足。     

Saccharin test of maxillary sinus mucociliary function after endoscopic sinus surgery

OBJECTIVES: To determine the usefulness of the saccharin time (ST) test for evaluating the mucociliary function of the maxillary sinus after endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) for chronic sinusitis. STUDY DESIGN: METHODS: This study was conducted on 88 maxillary sinuses of 74 patients after ESS. The maxillary sinus fontanel was broadly opened via the middle meatus using an endoscope, and a saccharin granule was adhered to the bottom of the maxillary sinus mucosa The time until the patient recognized the sweet taste was recorded. Before the ST test, the bilateral maxillary sinuses were classified into the following four groups on the basis of the post-ESS severity of mucosal edema and swelling as revealed by endoscopic observation: normal (45 sinuses), mild mucosal edema and swelling (24), moderate mucosal finding (14), and severe mucosal finding or filling of the sinus with a polyp(s) (5). RESULTS: The mean ST values in the normal group and the groups with mild, moderate, and severe mucosal edema and swelling were 35.7, 38.1, 63.6, and 88.0 minutes, respectively. Thus the ST increased with the post-ESS severity of the mucosal lesion. However, for the group with mild mucosal edema and swelling, scanning electron microscopic observation of three maxillary sinuses in which the ST exceeded 120 minutes and four sinuses in which the ST was 40 minutes revealed extensive cilia loss in the former sinuses, but not in the latter. A second post-ESS endoscopic observation was performed in 17 patients, revealing improvement in 11 sinuses, no change in 5 sinuses, and aggravation in 1 sinus (compared with the initial test). The ST test was also repeated, revealing that the ST became shorter in most of the endoscopically improved sinus group. However, a few sinuses showed a discrepancy between the change in the endoscopic findings and the ciliary function (ST). CONCLUSION: Measurement of the maxillary sinus ST is a simple, accurate, and useful technique for assessing the post-ESS mucociliary function in conjunction with endoscopy, and the information gained can help in deciding subsequent therapy.     

Histological evaluation of maxillary sinus mucosa after functional endoscopic sinus surgery

BACKGROUND: This study was performed to evaluate the histological changes of the maxillary sinus mucosa of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) after functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). METHODS: In a cohort study, biopsy specimens were collected from the maxillary sinus of patients submitted for FESS. One year after surgery, patients were clinically reassessed. Patients showing recurrence of disease (group 1) required a revision surgery, through which a second biopsy specimen was collected. Patients showing a favorable clinical response (group 2) were submitted to an outpatient maxillary biopsy through the previous opened middle meatus antrostomy. Biopsy material from four cadavers was used as control. The histological and electron microscope findings were analyzed. RESULTS: At the initial surgery, patients presented many histopathological alterations, such as an inflammatory process infiltrating the submucosa, atypical respiratory epithelium with an important increase in goblet cells, metaplasia, or mixed epithelium. Group 1 patients persisted with the same alterations 1 year later, but ciliary dysmorphy was more accentuated. Group 2 patients presented a predominantly pseudostratified epithelium, but some areas contained an increased number of goblet cells and a reduction in the number of ciliated cells. CONCLUSION: Recovery of the maxillary sinus mucosa of patients with CRS, observed by electron and light microscopy, was incomplete 1 year after endoscopic surgery, even in nonsymptomatic patients; nevertheless, these alterations were more important in symptomatic patients than in asymptomatic patients.     

Nasolacrimal duct obstruction after toxic epidermal necrolysis

Toxic epidermal necrolysis also known as Lyell's syndrome is acute dermatomyositis as an adverse drug reactions. It is characterized by erosions of skin over 30% of total body surface area and is associated with significant mortality of 25%-50% of cases. The conjunctival mucosa involvement could result in cornea erosion and ulceration. Other ocular complications are: purulent conjunctivitis with pseudomembrane formation, entropion, symblefaron and synechiae with nasolacrimal duct obstruction or punctual stenosis. The authors present a very rare complication of nasolacrimal duct obstruction after toxic epidermal necrolysis in young girl. The endoscopic dacricystorhinostomy with one lacrimal point intubation was performed. Early ophthalmic assessment and frequent follow-up could be helpful to avoid metaplasia of epithelium, vascular neoplasia in conjunctiva and cornea. This will protect from dysfunction of tears secretion causing nasolacrimal duct or lacrimal point obliteration. If there is a permanent epiphora the endoscopic dacriocystorhinostomy, with silicone tube intubation could be the method of choice. A satisfactory results are also obtained after opening a passage of only one occluded lacrimal point.     

Nasolacrimal obstruction after inferior meatus nasal antrostomy

Transient epiphora following rhinoplasty or intranasal procedures is a common occurrence. Permanent nasolacrimal duct obstruction, however, is rare. This article documents four cases of nasolacrimal duct obstruction following intranasal antrostomy. Three patients were cured by dacryocystorhinostomy and a fourth refused surgery. The anatomy of the nasolacrimal duct in the inferior meatus has considerable variation. Although the duct typically opens in the inferior meatus immediately under the insertion of the inferior turbinate, the orifice can be a single hole, a slit, multiple holes, or a trough, and can be located anywhere from 30 to 40 mm dorsal to the anterior nares. We review the embryology and anatomy of the nasolacrimal orifice in the nose and make recommendations for safe surgery in the inferior meatus.     

Computed tomography findings after endoscopic sinus surgery with preserving or enlarging maxillary sinus ostium surgery

Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) is the main surgical approach in the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) after failure of medical treatment. ESS is based on the theory that obstruction of the maxillary sinus ostium is mainly behind the pathogenesis of CRS. Controversy remains concerning the enlargement of the natural maxillary sinus ostium. The aim of this study was to compare computed tomography (CT) findings after preservation or enlargement of the maxillary sinus ostium. Thirty patients with non-polypous CRS underwent randomized endoscopic sinus surgery with uncinectomy on one side and additional middle meatal antrostomy on the other side. Lund-Mackay (LM) scores and the ostium diameters were analysed from CT scans taken preoperatively and nine months postoperatively, and were used for comparison of the two operative techniques. In addition, the correlation between CT findings and subjective outcomes was studied. Comparison of the preoperative and postoperative CT scans revealed that significant reduction of LM score was achieved on both sides, regardless of the type of procedure performed. The postoperative area of the ostium remained significantly larger on the antrostomy side compared to the uncinectomy side. A large maxillary sinus ostium size seems to associate with lower postoperative LM score, but does not seem to provide superior symptom relief.

Endonasal endoscopic surgery of maxillary sinus mucoceles after Caldwell-Luc operation

BACKGROUND: Mucoceles of the maxillary sinus after Caldwell-Luc procedure develop by entrapment of mucosa. Specially mucoceles far laterally were being revised by a second transoral approach. This procedure carries the risk of damaging the infraorbital nerve. In addition the problem of scarring at the bottle neck between the lateral recessus and the nasal cavity with reclosure remains. METHODS AND PATIENTS: In 3 patients with a mucocele of the maxillary sinus 4-25 years after Caldwell-Luc operation an endonasal endoscopic opening of the mucocele was performed. In addition a silicon spacer was placed for 6 months. RESULTS: Twelve to fifteen months postoperatively all 3 patients still had an uneventful maxillary sinus according to the data of endoscopy, computer-tomographic or MRI-examination. CONCLUSIONS: The endoscopic approach and the long standing placement of a splint seems to be a valuable alternative to a renewed somewhat risky Caldwell-Luc approach.     

鼻内窥镜术上颌窦自然开口的处理

目的探讨内窥镜鼻窦手术治疗慢性鼻窦炎、鼻息肉的上颌窦中鼻道开口的重要性及处理方法。方法配对研究５６例双侧鼻窦炎、鼻息肉患者，比较同一患者术中扩大或不扩大上颌窦自然开口的术后情况。结果窦口的开放率在不扩大和扩大上颌窦自然开口的术侧中分别为９２．９％和８０．４％（随访６个月时）。回顾性观察５１例施ＣａｌｄｗｅｌＬｕｃ术的患者，下鼻道造口的术后开放率仅为４０．６％。分析３８张单侧鼻窦炎或鼻息肉的鼻窦ＣＴ片，测量对照侧与病变侧的上颌窦口膜样部的上下径和前后径，差异无显著性。病变侧上颌窦口周围的中鼻甲气化、增生及钩突偏曲、筛泡骨性增生等解剖结构异常的发生率明显高于对照侧（Ｐ＜０．０５）。结论鼻内窥镜下处理上颌窦自然开口的关键是窦口周围的解剖异常因素。     

鼻内镜术后上颌窦异常引流与黏膜炎症状态

目的观察上颌窦自然引流状态及引流的关键部位，探讨鼻内镜术后上颌窦的引流与窦腔炎症的关系，为鼻内镜手术上颌窦自然窦口的处理提供参考。方法用美蓝作为示踪剂，观察15例上颌窦无明显炎症或炎症较轻受检者上颌窦自然引流状态及引流的关键部位。另选择89例慢性鼻窦炎不伴鼻息肉患者鼻内镜术后6个月，且上颌窦黏膜恢复良好的患者，观察其上颌窦引流状态及方式，并继续随访至12个月，内镜下评估黏膜的炎症情况，分析鼻内镜术后上颌窦引流方式与黏膜炎症状态的关系。结果上颌窦自然窦口引流的关键部位在自然窦口的后下，近钩突尾端的附着处。引流物出上颌窦向后下走行，最终流向鼻咽部。传统鼻内镜手术后，引流方式相对正常者15例，占16．9％；74例（83．1％）患者上颌窦的引流状态及引流方式发生了明显改变。其中包括反向引流6例、多相引流31例、引流不能20例、“蓄水池”样改变9例以及黏膜失用8例。术后12个月33．7％的患者再次发生炎症反应，以黏膜失用炎症的发生率（100％）最高，其次是引流不能及反向引流（各占50％）。结论上颌窦自然窦口的后下近钩突尾端附着处是上颌窦引流的关键部位；鼻内镜术后，上颌窦自然引流关键部位的损伤甚至瘢痕形成，可以导致上颌窦的异常引流，过度开放上颌窦窦口，有可能加重上颌窦黏膜的损伤；上颌窦的异常引流状态及方式与黏膜炎症的发生率密切相关。     

慢性鼻窦炎内窥镜手术上颌窦粘膜扫描电镜观察

为了对行内窥镜鼻窦手术的慢性鼻窦炎患者上颌窦粘膜的术后超微结构变化进行评价，利用扫描电镜及图像分析技术对１６例（２０侧）术中和术后上颌窦粘膜及自然孔粘膜的纤毛面积进行定量测定。发现术前上颌窦及其自然孔粘膜纤毛细胞明显减少，杯状细胞、微绒毛细胞增多，部分病例有鳞状上皮化生。术后６个月～１年，大部分病例受损的纤毛细胞明显恢复，纤毛细胞覆盖面积增加，有统计学意义。通过内窥镜手术，改善上颌窦的通气、引流，可以逐渐恢复粘膜的正常生理功能。     

Normalization of maxillary sinus mucosa after functional endoscopic sinus surgery in pediatric chronic sinusitis

OBJECTIVES: To observe the recovery of maxillary sinus mucosa after endoscopic sinus surgery in children with chronic maxillary sinusitis. Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) was used to perform a middle meatal antrostomy, leaving the antral mucosa intact for later observation. METHODS: Between January 1998 and December 2003, 43 children with chronic sinusitis were enrolled in the study. Pre-operative patient profiles, including a history of symptoms, signs and allergies, were collected. Phidiatap test was used to check allergy. Saccharine transit time tests were performed for each side of the nasal cavity. Under endoscopic observation, the antral mucosa was macroscopically divided into edematous and polypoid types. RESULTS: Sixty-four (76.2%) of the 84 antrums had edematous type mucosa in which 73.4% (48/64) of cases were found to have returned to normal within 8 weeks. The polypoid antral mucosa exhibited a slower recovery with 80% (16/20) returning to normal within 4 months. The preoperative saccharine transit time significantly correlated with recovery of the antral mucosa (p < 0.05), but allergy did not (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION: The antral mucosa in children with chronic maxillary sinusitis was predominantly of the edematous type. Most recovered within 2 months of having FESS. The prolonged saccharine transit time and polypoid type antral mucosa were associated with delayed mucosal recovery, warranting follow-up of more than 4 months.
