Abstract

One of the first surgical challenges encountered after making a recommendation for endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) is determining the extent of surgery. This is perhaps most true of the frontal sinus where underoperating can result in insufficient control of disease and persistent symptoms, while overoperating can result in unnecessary surgery, increase the risk of iatrogenic scarring, and place undue risk upon surrounding structures in an anatomically unforgiving location. This chapter reviews the evidence available for performing frontal sinus balloon sinuplasty, Draf I, IIa, IIb, and III frontal sinusotomies. It also presents controversies, opinions, and unanswered questions on the topic of extent of frontal sinus surgery.

Key words
