Middle Meatal Antrostomy: A surgical technique to enlarge the maxillary sinus drainage pathway via the middle meatus, facilitating the removal of polyps and improving sinus ventilation.

It is now understood that normal mucociliary clearance from the maxillary sinuses flows upward to the middle meatus and the ostiomeatal complex. The surgical creation of an antral window in the ...

The maxillary sinus is typically approached by a sublabial incision (Caldwell-Luc procedure), and the ethmoid by an incision on the side of the nose (external ethmoidectomy).

Many persistent sinus infections involve biofilms – colonies of bacteria that group together to resist efforts to kill them. Now, researchers have developed biofilm-blasting bots that could ...

Tiny magnetic bots that are activated by light can clear bacterial infections deep in the sinus cavities, then be expelled by blowing out the nose.

Flying can put you at risk of dehydration, thrombosis, lung and heart issues, and high blood pressure, so follow these tips to stay safe.

The tap water she used for the sinus rinse came from an RV's water system at a campground in Texas, according to the case report. The CDC recommends the use of distilled, sterile or boiled and ...
