Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) was performed in the usual fashion, however, when approaching the frontal sinus, a 10F Foley catheter was inserted and the balloon inflated in the frontal outflow. Patients were assessed postoperatively with SNOT-22, CT imaging, and endoscopic assessment at 6 months.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n Successful intraoperative dilation of the frontal recess was achieved in 62 of 69 frontal sinuses (90%). No cerebrospinal fluid leak or orbital entry occurred. Six months postoperative, SNOT-22 scores showed significant improvement, whereas endoscopic assessment revealed patent frontal recess in 55 of 62 (89%) frontal sinuses. Computed tomography imaging was completed in 25 patients comprising 41 operated frontal sinuses with no mucosal thickening seen in 37 of 41 (90%).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n The 10F Foley catheter is an effective tool to dilate the frontal recess by compression of edema during ESS. It may be a safe and cost-effective alternative to high-cost commercially available sinus balloons, especially in resource-poor environments.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/0003489414550242","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,9,10]],"date-time":"2014-09-10T00:05:42Z","timestamp":1410307542000},"page":"194-197","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Use of a Foley Catheter Balloon as a Tool During Endoscopic Frontal Sinus Surgery in a Resource-Poor Environment"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"124","author":[{"given":"Mohamed H.","family":"Askar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery, Tanta University, Tanta, Egypt"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hossam S.","family":"El-Sherif","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery, Tanta University, Tanta, Egypt"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mohamed O.","family":"Tomoum","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery, Tanta University, Tanta, Egypt"},{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Brent A.","family":"Senior","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,9,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0003489414550242","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.otohns.2004.03.022"},{"key":"bibr2-0003489414550242","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/lary.20168"},{"key":"bibr3-0003489414550242","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.amjoto.2008.02.009"},{"key":"bibr4-0003489414550242","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/MLG.0b013e3180337d7b"},{"key":"bibr5-0003489414550242","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.amjoto.2008.12.006"},{"key":"bibr6-0003489414550242","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/lary.21114"},{"key":"bibr7-0003489414550242","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.otohns.2008.05.010"},{"key":"bibr8-0003489414550242","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.anai.2013.06.033"},{"key":"bibr9-0003489414550242","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1749-4486.2009.01995.x"}],"container-title":["Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/0003489414550242","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1177\/0003489414550242","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/0003489414550242","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,28]],"date-time":"2026-04-28T11:30:33Z","timestamp":1777375833000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/0003489414550242"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2014,9,9]]},"references-count":9,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2015,3]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/0003489414550242"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/0003489414550242","relation":{},"ISSN":["0003-4894","1943-572X"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0003-4894","type":"print"},{"value":"1943-572X","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2014,9,9]]}}}
