However, some argue that it destabilizes the middle turbinate (MT) and increases risk of MT lateralization (MTL). We aimed to establish rates of MTL after AFA, as well as to determine whether other surgical or disease factors affect lateralization.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study was a retrospective chart review. Endoscopic postoperative videos between 3 and 9 months (short\u2010term) and greater than 9 months (long\u2010term) were reviewed blind to surgery performed. Presence of MTL, ability to pass an endoscope into the middle meatus, and ability to evaluate the frontal recess were recorded. Surgical characteristics obtained from the chart review included: MT conchopexy, septoplasty, concha bullosa, and primary vs revision surgery. Patient characteristics included age, sex, polyposis, asthma, and smoking. Cases were excluded if the MT was absent.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 124 patients (248 operated sides) were included in the short\u2010term cohort. Similar numbers of primary (52.4%) and revision (47.6%) cases were performed, 42.3% had polyposis, and 38% asthmatics. Overall rate of MTL was 14.5%, with an inability to examine the frontal recess in 12.1%. Suture conchopexy of the MT through the septum did not affect lateralization. Results were statistically similar in the long\u2010term cohort.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The AFA yielded a 14.5% and 17.4% MTL in the short\u2010term and long\u2010term cohorts, respectively. This rate appears consistent with reports in the literature that did not use the axillary flap. No patient or surgical factor was found to affect rates of lateralization.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/alr.21265","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,1,10]],"date-time":"2014-01-10T19:04:13Z","timestamp":1389380653000},"page":"333-338","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Incidence of middle turbinate lateralization after axillary flap approach to the frontal recess"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"4","author":[{"given":"Philip G.","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery\u2013Otorhinolaryngology Head &amp; Neck Surgery University of Adelaide  Adelaide Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ahmed","family":"Bassiouni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery\u2013Otorhinolaryngology Head &amp; Neck Surgery University of Adelaide  Adelaide Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Peter\u2010John","family":"Wormald","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery\u2013Otorhinolaryngology Head &amp; Neck Surgery University of Adelaide  Adelaide Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,1,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005537-200203000-00016"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/014556139207100303"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","volume-title":"R: A Language and Environment for Statistical Computing","author":"R.
