Several techniques for performing ethmoidectomy have been reported. We describe a safe, effective and efficient technique during functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). We present text, images and videos to illustrate our preferred technique during an antero-posterior ethmoidectomy and to provide a multimedia tool for educational purpose.
A description of the technique without prospective or retrospective data is reported. A complete ethmoidectomy with an L-shape approach is described step-by-step, using the backbiting circular and miniature cutting forceps, with safe exposure of the lamina papyracea (LP) and skull base.
In our hands, the L-shape approach for chronic rhinosinusitis with or without polyposis, performed with punch circular cutting and miniature cutting forceps, allowed for a reliably safe and efficient ethmoidectomy.
The technique described can be added to the armamentarium of the endoscopic sinus surgeon.
已经有几种进行筛窦切除术的技术被报道。我们描述了一种在功能性内窥镜鼻窦手术（FESS）中安全、有效且高效的技术。我们通过文字、图像和视频来展示我们在前后筛窦切除术时所偏好的技术，并提供一个多媒体工具用于教育目的。
我们报告了一种没有前瞻性或回顾性数据的技术描述。使用反咬式环钻和微型咬切钳，以 L 形入路逐步完成完全的筛窦切除术，安全地暴露纸样板（LP）和颅底。
在我们的手中，对于伴有或不伴有息肉的慢性鼻-鼻窦炎，使用环钻和微型咬切钳进行 L 形入路，可以可靠地实现安全且高效的筛窦切除术。
所描述的技术可以添加到鼻内窥镜鼻窦手术医生的工具中。
