The hybrid lid crease approach to address lateral frontal sinus disease with orbital extension.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aimed to describe the hybrid lid crease approach in conjunction with functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) for lateral frontal sinus disease with orbital extension.

Study design

Retrospective case review.

Methods

Patients undergoing hybrid lid crease approach with FESS for frontal sinus disease were reviewed retrospectively. Surgical indications consisted of inverting papilloma with extension into the frontal sinus (n = 1) and frontal sinus mucocele (n = 2). Inclusion criteria included presence of disease in the lateral frontal sinus with extension into the orbital space and erosion of the superior orbital rim. Preoperative and postoperative parameters included complete ophthalmologic exam, endoscopic exam, and computed tomography scan.
