Although it has gained popularity, minimal self-reported data on its utilization and complications have been reported. The goal of this study was to describe current practices and complications experienced during frontal sinus BSP.<\/jats:p> <\/jats:sec> <jats:sec id=\"methods\"> <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title> <jats:p>An anonymous 20-question online survey was distributed to members of the American Osteopathic Colleges of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery from August 1, 2022, to August 30, 2022. The questions were listed as multiple choice or percentage sliding bars, and data were collected using a commercial online survey service site. Results were reported as frequencies, means, and percentages.<\/jats:p> <\/jats:sec> <jats:sec id=\"results\"> <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title> <jats:p>Forty-two respondents participated in the survey, with the majority practicing in the following hospital settings: community (34, 80.95%), hybrid (5, 11.90%), and academic (3, 7.14%). The southeast had the largest proportion of respondents (13, 30.95%), versus the midwest (12, 28.57%), southwest (10, 23.81%), northeast (5, 11.90%), and northwest (2, 4.76%). On average, 50.52% of cases were performed in the hospital setting, 48.50% in-office, and 42.40% in surgery centers. Respondents who primarily used BSP, reported a yearly average of 35.72 cases, a median of 12 cases, and a range of 0-361 cases. Respondents who used BSP with functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS), reported a yearly average of 48.62 cases, a median of 31 cases, and a range of 0-189 cases. Nasal packing was utilized both intraoperatively (11.72%) and postoperatively (3.62%). Early complications included postoperative headaches (9.86%), acute bacterial sinusitis (ABRS) (3.52%), and tooth\/facial numbness (0.86%). Reported long-term complications included postoperative synechiae (5.10%), orbital complications (0.14%), and skull base complications (0.10%). A previously unreported complication was identified through this study, accidental sphenopalatine fossa dilation.<\/jats:p> <\/jats:sec> <jats:sec id=\"conclusions\"> <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title> <jats:p>This study contributes to the growing body of literature on frontal sinus BSP by characterizing utilization and complications from a large otolaryngologic academy.<\/jats:p> <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.51894\/001c.123407","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,9]],"date-time":"2024-09-09T10:08:14Z","timestamp":1725876494000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Contemporary Trends in Frontal Sinus Balloon Sinuplasty: A Pilot Study"],"prefix":"10.51894","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Daniel H.","family":"Lofgren","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"McLaren Oakland Hospital, Pontiac, MI, USA","department":["Graduate Medical Education, Otolaryngology"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"family":"Brandon B.
