This is a retrospective case series study. The Draf III procedure exposes excessive bare bone, resulting in frontal ostium restenosis and surgical failure. For tumors originating from frontal sinus, especially inverted papillomas, abrading of bone around frontal ostium often exacerbate the restenosis. This study aims to retrospectly recruit patients with frontal sinus inverted papillomas who received Draf III procedure in our center during 2015-2021 and investigated the efficacy of a novel pedicled nasoseptal flap for endoscopic frontal sinus procedures. Each subject received a CT and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans before operation. The subjects were followed up postoperative for at least 12 months to check the epithelization status and whether the neo-ostium were patent.

Time needed for epithelization
Epithelization was defined if the neo-ostium and the fused frontal sinus were smooth without edema, discharging or crusting after surgery under endoscope. Time needed for each subject was recorded.
within 12 months postoperatively
Whether or not the frontal neo-ostium was restenosed
Patients were checked under endoscope, and restenosis of neo-ostium was defined as a reduction of more than 50% in the section area compared to that at the end of surgery.
12 months postoperatively
The standard Draf III procedure was performed as described by Gross and Wormald using an "outside-in" technique. The cranial portion of the nasal septum was removed, and the frontal process of the maxilla and frontal beak were carefully abraded, resulting in the "frontal T". Distinct to the procedure of Gross and Wormald, the frontal T was then lowered to the first branch of the anterior ethmoidal artery instead of the first olfactory fibre. Tumors were totally resected under endoscope and lateral pedicled nasoseptal flaps were applied for covering the exposed bone around frontal neo-ostium. Type 1 flaps consisted of mucosa over the lateral nasal wall, and type 2 flaps consisted of the aforementioned mucosa and corresponding septal mucosa.

Type 1 flaps consisted of mucosa over the lateral nasal wall, and type 2 flaps consisted of the aforementioned mucosa and corresponding septal mucosa. After Draf III procedure, type 1 flaps were used to cover the bare bone of the ipsilateral frontal process and part of the ipsilateral anterior frontal table, which also constituted the bare bone area of the Draf II procedure. Type 2 flaps were used to cover for the bare bone of the ipsilateral frontal process and bilateral anterior or posterior frontal table.
