The natural history of intranasal antrostomy is poorly understood despite the popularity of the procedure. Researches have been conducted to examine this and in particular to establish factors which might be responsible for closure. A complete appraisal of the anatomy of the inferior meatus has been undertaken to determine factors which limit the dimensions of an antrostomy. Retrospective and prospective studies have been performed on patients undergoing the operation to assess patency and size. The results of these studies demonstrate that initial size is important in determining long-term patency in adults, and if an antrostomy is open at one year it usually remains open in the long-term unless infection supervenes; in children, however, antrostomies appear to close more rapidly.
尽管鼻内鼻窦造口术很受欢迎，但人们对其自然病程了解甚少。已经开展了相关研究来对此进行考察，尤其是确定可能导致造口闭合的因素。为了确定限制鼻窦造口尺寸的因素，已对下鼻道的解剖结构进行了全面评估。对接受该手术的患者进行了回顾性和前瞻性研究，以评估通畅情况和造口大小。这些研究结果表明，初始大小对确定成人鼻窦造口的长期通畅情况很重要，如果鼻窦造口在一年时是开放的，那么除非发生感染，它通常会长期保持开放；然而，在儿童中，鼻窦造口似乎闭合得更快。
