Associated injuries by endonasal drilling procedures, to the best of our knowledge is not reported extensively in literature, whereas, there is sufficient evidence of nostril laceration due to nasogastric intubation 9,10,11 or nasogastric feeding tubes 12 .…”

Key Points: • The use of drills in endoscopic rhinosurgery allows for precise, safe and rapid removal of solid bone in standard procedures such as dacryo-cysto-rhinostomia and has become indispensable in complicated surgical interventions such as median maxillectomy • Conventional otologic drills are often used as they are readily available, economical and very robust in use • Injuries caused by the rotating shaft of the burr are rare yet it can represent a serious complication following drilling procedures in extended endonasal surgery • The use of low-cost, reusable otology speculum eliminated this complication of nasal entrance lacerations throughout our institution to this date • As a simple safety measurement, we can recommend the application of ear speculum as a reliable protection against drill related nasal entrance laceration
