Draf III frontal sinusotomy: influence of patient characteristics on outcome.

CONCLUSION: The results of Draf III frontal sinusotomy were positive in the long term. Previous frontal sinus surgery, the presence of allergy or aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD), asthma, smoking, and variants in frontal recess anatomy did not affect outcome. Osteoneogenesis and chronic mucosal inflammation could be controlled by creating a large drainage pathway. PMID: 29553611 [PubMed]
