Endoscopic ultrasonic curette-assisted removal of frontal osteomas

Indications for endoscopic resection of fronto-ethmoidal osteomas have been progressively expanded thanks to optimization of surgical exposure and the development of dedicated instruments. Curved cutting drills are still suboptimal to treat hard osseous neoplasms of the frontal sinus. We present two...

description Indications for endoscopic resection of fronto-ethmoidal osteomas have been progressively expanded thanks to optimization of surgical exposure and the development of dedicated instruments. Curved cutting drills are still suboptimal to treat hard osseous neoplasms of the frontal sinus. We present two patients affected by frontal osteoma treated with an endoscopic procedure using an ultrasonic bone curette. The ultrasonic bone curette may be considered an effective tool to reduce soft tissue manipulation, optimize surgical time and accelerate the healing process. However, the technique requires significant shape innovations to reach the lateral recesses and to manage pure intrasinusal lesions.
