The operation of intranasal antrostomy was first described by Gooch in 1770 and has been performed since then with varying degrees of popularity. Little is known of the natural history of the antrostomy, particularly about its tendency to close. To elucidate this, researches have been conducted, aimed at establishing a number of measurable factors associated with closure. A clinical study has been conducted which includes a prospective assessment of intranasal antrostomies performed on 55 patients. The size of the antrostomy is assessed per-operatively and at regular intervals post-operatively using direct measurement and serial photography via a modified Hopkins rod. A retrospective study has also been performed on all patients who underwent intranasal antrostomy between 1979-1982, using similar techniques. The results of a statistical analysis of intranasal antrostomies performed since 1950 are also presented as are the results of a survey of the techniques used by surgeons when performing this procedure. The work presented in this paper offers the answers to a number of questions which have been posed about this simple and popular operation.
鼻内上颌窦造口术最早由古奇于1770年描述，从那时起就一直在进行，其受欢迎程度各不相同。人们对鼻窦造口术的自然病程知之甚少，尤其是其闭合倾向。为了阐明这一点，已经开展了研究，旨在确定一些与闭合相关的可测量因素。已进行了一项临床研究，其中包括对55例患者实施的鼻内上颌窦造口术进行前瞻性评估。通过改良的Hopkins杆，在手术中及术后定期使用直接测量和连续摄影的方法评估造口的大小。还对1979年至1982年间接受鼻内上颌窦造口术的所有患者进行了回顾性研究，采用了类似的技术。文中还给出了自1950年以来实施的鼻内上颌窦造口术的统计分析结果，以及对外科医生在实施该手术时所使用技术的调查结果。本文所呈现的研究成果回答了一些关于这种简单且常用手术的问题。
