Brief Summary

Patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with frontal sinus affection indicated for sinuscopy will be randomly categorized in 2 groups: group A will have endoscopic directDraf IIa frontal sinusotomy and group B will have endoscopic angled Draf IIa frontal sinusotomy, the two groups will be compared according to ostium patency and perioperative morbidity

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Assess endoscopic direct access Draf IIa (carolyn's window approach) in creating patent frontal sinusotomy.

    Assess endoscopic direct access Draf IIa (carolyn's window approach) in creating patent frontal sinusotomy assessment will be done radiologically after 6 months : it will be considered patent if ostium more than 5mm

    2 years

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Assess perioperative morbidity of endoscopic direct Draf IIa approach compared to endoscopic Draf IIa frontal sinusotomy with an angled endoscope and instrumentation
