My Sinus Surgery
I had 3 Procedures…
 POLYP REMOVAL

 MAXILLARY ANSTROSTOMY

 ETHMOIDECTOMY
POLYP REMOVAL
 Polyps are a small, benign growth in your nasal passage kind of like a grape or grape cluster.
  They make it hard to breathe and block mucus drainage ending up in sinus infections. To give
  yourself an idea of how having polyps feel, just shove a grape up one of your nostrils and go
  about your day normally. Breathing, sleeping, blowing your nose are all affected. These suckers
  gotta go!

 Polyps are relatively easy to lance and remove. Just like pickin grapes!




  I wanted the Doc to save these for me so I could make a polyp snow
                   globe but he wouldn’t go for it 
MAXILLARY ANSTROSTOMY
 There are two sinus cavities below your eyes inside your cheekbones. These are called the
  Maxillary Sinuses. They normally drain into your nasal passage and into your throat or out your
  nostrils. If they don’t, bacteria will thrive in this warm, moist area and cause infection. The
  surgery involves draining this area and then making the drainage tunnels wider so that they
  drain better. Kind of like a roto-rooter.




                              It’s all about the drainage man.

ETHMOIDECTOMY
   The ethmoid sinuses are a beehive of 18 to 22 cavities and located
    between your eyes, behind the bridge of the nose. All of your other
    sinuses drain through them or next to them. If this area is often blocked,
    infection occurs and spreads to the other sinuses. The surgery involves
    sticking an ultrasonic probe into the area and smashing up all the
    honeycomb like bones that make up the cavities thereby creating one
    large cavity that drains easier.

   This one scares me the most because you are a very short distance from
    your optic nerve and only a thin walled bone separates this area from
    your brain. Blindness only occurs in 1/10th of 1% of patients though so I
    wasn’t too worried 




                                       It’s still about the drainage man.

ETHMOIDECTOMY
   This is another view of the Ethmoid Cavity. In this picture a mechanical burr is being used to break up the honeycomb bones.

   This also shows a puncture through the thin walled bone that separates this area from the brain. Oops! Sucks to be you bro.
SUMMARY
   With all said and done, it wasn’t that bad of a surgery. With today’s advances in orthoscopic surgery, nasal surgery is much less
    complicated.

   In the past, these types of surgery were done through the face – above the eyebrow, through the cheek or jaw, and as shown here for
    an Ethmoidectomy, between the eye and bridge of nose. Nasty!




                       External Ethmoidectomy
                                                                          Caldwel Luc Procedure done through the mouth to clear
                                                                          the maxillary sinus. Ouch.

My sinus surgery

  • 1. My Sinus Surgery I had 3 Procedures…  POLYP REMOVAL  MAXILLARY ANSTROSTOMY  ETHMOIDECTOMY
  • 2. POLYP REMOVAL  Polyps are a small, benign growth in your nasal passage kind of like a grape or grape cluster. They make it hard to breathe and block mucus drainage ending up in sinus infections. To give yourself an idea of how having polyps feel, just shove a grape up one of your nostrils and go about your day normally. Breathing, sleeping, blowing your nose are all affected. These suckers gotta go!  Polyps are relatively easy to lance and remove. Just like pickin grapes! I wanted the Doc to save these for me so I could make a polyp snow globe but he wouldn’t go for it 
  • 3. MAXILLARY ANSTROSTOMY  There are two sinus cavities below your eyes inside your cheekbones. These are called the Maxillary Sinuses. They normally drain into your nasal passage and into your throat or out your nostrils. If they don’t, bacteria will thrive in this warm, moist area and cause infection. The surgery involves draining this area and then making the drainage tunnels wider so that they drain better. Kind of like a roto-rooter. It’s all about the drainage man.
  • 8. ETHMOIDECTOMY  The ethmoid sinuses are a beehive of 18 to 22 cavities and located between your eyes, behind the bridge of the nose. All of your other sinuses drain through them or next to them. If this area is often blocked, infection occurs and spreads to the other sinuses. The surgery involves sticking an ultrasonic probe into the area and smashing up all the honeycomb like bones that make up the cavities thereby creating one large cavity that drains easier.  This one scares me the most because you are a very short distance from your optic nerve and only a thin walled bone separates this area from your brain. Blindness only occurs in 1/10th of 1% of patients though so I wasn’t too worried  It’s still about the drainage man.
  • 12. ETHMOIDECTOMY  This is another view of the Ethmoid Cavity. In this picture a mechanical burr is being used to break up the honeycomb bones.  This also shows a puncture through the thin walled bone that separates this area from the brain. Oops! Sucks to be you bro.
  • 13. SUMMARY  With all said and done, it wasn’t that bad of a surgery. With today’s advances in orthoscopic surgery, nasal surgery is much less complicated.  In the past, these types of surgery were done through the face – above the eyebrow, through the cheek or jaw, and as shown here for an Ethmoidectomy, between the eye and bridge of nose. Nasty! External Ethmoidectomy Caldwel Luc Procedure done through the mouth to clear the maxillary sinus. Ouch.
