Association between sinus septa and lateral wall thickness with risk of perforation during maxillary sinus lift surgery: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Sinus membrane perforation is a common complication of sinus lift surgery. This review aimed to examine if anatomical factors such as the presence of septa and lateral wall thickness influence the risk of membrane perforation.

Methods

This study was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42023488259). PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science were searched for relevant studies published up to 26th June 2024. The outcome of interest was the risk of perforation based on presence of septa and lateral wall thickness. Random-effects meta-analysis was conducted with dichotomous data to obtain the odds ratio (OR) of perforation using Review Manager.

Results

Ten studies with 1865 patients undergoing 2168 "lateral" sinus lift procedures were included. The total incidence of Schneideria
