Determining the indications for osteoplastic frontal sinus obliteration (OFSO) for the treatment of inflammatory frontal sinus disease.<jats:italic>Study Design<\/jats:italic>. Retrospective case series from a single tertiary care facility.<jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>. Thirty-four patients who underwent OFSO for chronic frontal sinusitis () and frontal sinus mucocele () comprised our study group. Data reviewed included demographics, history of prior frontal sinus operation(s), imaging, diagnosis, and operative complications.<jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. The age range was 19 to 76 years. Seventy percent of patients with chronic frontal sinusitis underwent OFSO as a salvage surgery after previous frontal sinus surgery failures, while 30% underwent OFSO as a primary surgery. For those in whom OFSO was a salvage procedure, the failed surgeries were endoscopic approaches to the frontal sinus (69%), Lynch procedure (12%), and OFSO outside this study period (19%). For patients with frontal sinus mucocele, 72% had OFSO as a first-line surgery. Within the total study population, 15% of patients presented for OFSO with history of prior obliteration, with a range of 3 to 30 years between representations.<jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>. Osteoplastic frontal sinus obliteration remains a key surgical treatment for chronic inflammatory frontal sinus disease both as a salvage procedure and first-line surgical therapy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2012\/501896","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,10,16]],"date-time":"2012-10-16T21:01:14Z","timestamp":1350421274000},"page":"1-5","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["Role of Osteoplastic Frontal Sinus Obliteration in the Era of Endoscopic Sinus Surgery"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2012","author":[{"given":"Joshua B.","family":"Silverman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2014Head and Neck Surgery, SUNY Downstate Medical Center, Brooklyn, NY 11203, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stacey T.","family":"Gray","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2014Head and Neck Surgery, Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, 243 Charles Street, Boston, MA 02114, USA"},{"name":"Department of Otology and Laryngology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nicolas Y.","family":"Busaba","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2014Head and Neck Surgery, Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, 243 Charles Street, Boston, MA 02114, USA"},{"name":"Department of Otology and Laryngology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"98","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0194-5998(03)01306-8"},{"key":"2","first-page":"13","volume":"196","year":"2006","journal-title":"The Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology.
