NCT01615536 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Last updated 2014-01-10

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The hypothesis of this study is that canine fossa trephination (CFT) improves surgical outcomes for patients with a severely diseased maxillary sinus.

Conditions

  • Disorder of Maxillary Sinus
  • Aspirin-sensitive Asthma With Nasal Polyps
  • Rhinosinusitis

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Canine fossa trephine technique

Patients undergoing standard ESS and a canine fossa trephine technique, which is a 6 mm puncture in the anterior wall of the maxillary sinus, to allow standard sinus debrider blades and instruments to pass into the sinus to clear polyps in the maxillary sinus.

PROCEDURE

Standard Endoscopic Sinus Surgery

Patients undergoing standard ESS without canine fossa trephination with clearance of the maxillary sinus polyps via a wide maxillary antrostomy (WMA) with use of curved debrider surgical blades and instruments.
