“…Endoscopic follow-up of these cases showed that 94.7 per cent of the previously diseased maxillary sinuses regained healthy mucosa. Hempstead (1939) stated that conservative measures restore the antrum to normal state. He recommended avoidance of unnecessary destruction of the ciliated epithelium because a functioning membrane is preferred to scar tissue.…”

“…Follow-up of these cases showec that 95.5 per cent of the patients experienced subjective improvement including those cases with history of previous conventional surgery for chronic maxillary sinusitis in the form of inferior meatal antrostomy and/oi radical antrum operation. Hempstead (1939) stated thai drainage of the antrum alone would not cure the infection if there was infection in the upper sinuses. Proctoi (1966) added that the ethmoid sinuses are usually the key to any problem involving infectious sinusitis.…”

“…The nasal antral window (inferior antrostomy) was popularized as a less aggressive and more effective method of treating rhinosinusitis than the Caldwell-Luc procedure. 75 In 1941 Hilding 76 cited the nasal antral window as a safer and better procedure than antrostomy of the natural maxillary sinus ostium, because it was less likely to cause infection of the maxillary sinus in a rabbit animal model. Kennedy et al 77,78 cited Proetz 79 as being concerned about the possibility of traumatizing the natural ostium with this procedure.…”

“…Antral lavage is not a viable therapeutic modality for the treatment of rhinosinusitis, because it involves only the maxillary sinus and not the ethmoid sinuses 73–75 . Although lavage is no longer used as a therapeutic modality, it remains a valuable diagnostic tool in the immunocompromised patient.…”
