Most of the surgery for functional endoscopic
0:03
sinus surgery is directed towards the anterior sinonasal
0:07
cavity, that being the maxillary sinus, the
0:10
anterior ethmoid air cells, and the frontal sinuses.
0:14
However, occasionally you will have a patient whose
0:18
inflammatory disease is concentrated in the posterior
0:21
portion of the sinonasal cavity, those being the
0:23
posterior ethmoid air cells and the sphenoid sinus.
0:27
As I mentioned, the drainage for the
0:29
posterior ethmoid air cells, which you see
0:32
here, and the sphenoid sinus goes through a
0:35
channel known as the sphenoethmoidal recess.
0:38
You might see SER on the request slip, and that is a
0:43
narrow channel, which again, can be obstructed with
0:47
secretions and can lead to backup into the posterior
0:51
ethmoid air cells and the sphenoid sinus, leading to
0:55
sinusitis. For surgery on this condition,
0:58
once again, usually they're doing a sinusotomy,
1:01
an opening to that, widening of that opening rather
1:05
than removing all the septations of the posterior
1:09
ethmoid air cells and the sphenoid sinus.
1:11
So they're basically trying to widen the opening,
1:14
so that way normal mucociliary clearance
1:17
in the sphenoid sinus and the posterior
1:18
ethmoid sinus will drain that downward,
1:22
and then posteriorly into the back of the
1:24
middle meatus, and from there, back to your
1:27
pharynx, where we all do *sniff* and swallow it down.
