Clearing thick secretions from the hidden crevices of the maxillary sinus can be challenging and can increase operative time during endoscopic sinus surgery.
We demonstrate the Displacement Technique as a user-friendly technique to address thick secretions within the maxillary sinus barring no orbital floor dehiscence. First, a wide maxillary antrostomy is performed. Then, a surgical pledget is placed in the maxillary sinus to displace the inspissated content into the nasal cavity using a curved suction. This process is repeated as necessary.
The displacement technique is a simple and inexpensive method for addressing stubborn secretions.
清除上颌窦隐蔽缝隙中的浓稠分泌物具有一定挑战性,可能会增加内镜鼻窦手术的操作时间。
我们展示了一种移位技术,该技术是一种用户友好型技术,适用于处理上颌窦内无眶底裂开的浓稠分泌物。首先,进行广泛的上颌窦造口术。然后,将一个手术棉片放入上颌窦中,使用弯吸管将浓稠的内容物推到鼻腔中。必要时可重复此过程。
移位技术是一种简单且经济实惠的处理顽固分泌物的方法。
