The Journal of Laryngology & Otology, 132(1), 79-82.0022-21511748-5460https://dx.doi.org/10.1017/S0022215117002262https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12395/36638Background: Re-stenosis and a consequent need for revision surgery are the most common problems in the follow-up period following endoscopic modification of the Lothrop procedure. Method: This paper reports a new technique for reconstructing and resurfacing of the posterior frontal recess bone for prevention of re-stenosis. Results: A 46-year-old man presented with a frontal sinus osteoma, and treatment featured an endoscopic modification of the Lothrop procedure. A vascularised, posteriorly based, septal mucosal flap was used in reconstruction. There have been no reported issues over 24 months of follow up. Conclusion: The use of a nasoseptal flap seems feasible to reduce scarring and recurrence of (common) frontal recess stenosis after a Draf III operation.en10.1017/S0022215117002262info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessEndoscopyFrontal SinusNasal Surgical ProceduresSurgical FlapsParanasal Sinus DiseasesPostoperative ComplicationsArticle1321798229151381Q2WOS:000419036700015Q4
