Endoscopic balloon dilatation of the olfactory cleft – a feasibility study of a novel technique in cadavers

OBJECTIVE: Smell dysfunctions are common with almost 20% percent of the population affected. There are no interventional solutions for these patients. The aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility and security of the balloon dilatation technique. METHODS: This paper describes interventiona...

description OBJECTIVE: Smell dysfunctions are common with almost 20% percent of the population affected. There are no interventional solutions for these patients. The aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility and security of the balloon dilatation technique. METHODS: This paper describes interventional steps and determines the feasibility and safety of endoscopic olfactory cleft dilatation via balloon device. We included 10 nasal cavities in the study and dilated olfactory cleft areas via balloon device. RESULTS: We could smoothly perform the procedure and did not observe any fractures on the skull base or olfactory cleft of the cadavers after dilatation. CONCLUSIONS: A combination of this intervention with medical treatments can be promising for smell dysfunctions.
