Basal lamella relaxing incision improves endoscopic middle meatal access.
Int Forum Allergy Rhinol. 2013; (3): 231-5
Lateralization of the middle turbinate is a commonly cited factor leading to failure of functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). Inadequate medialization during FESS may require repeat intraoperative attempts, and may lead to destabilization and mucosal trauma. A novel technique is described that increases middle meatal area and provides more definitive medialization at the outset of FESS.
