재발성 전두동염 환자에서 수술항해기구를 이용한 Modified Lothrop 수술 사례 1예

In recurrent chronic frontal sinusitis, the representative Modified Lothrop procedure is less invasive compared to classic extranasal approach, but CSF leakage and orbital injury occur often, and it has technical difficulties. On the other hand, a navigation device was recently adopted for endoscopic sinus surgery in otorhinolaryngology department. Endoscopic sinus surgery using the Navigation device can reduce intraoperative complications and recurrence. Researchers of this study report on the case of recent Modified Lothrop procedure in patient with recurrent frontal sinusitis by use of navigation, along with references.
